Pet Peeve #34 (I really can't keep track of the shit that offends me)
Ever since I learned about the controversies surrounding Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines video, I decided to check exactly what the fuss was all about. And so, I clicked on the video and began my descent into a horrified viewer at the amount of misogyny packed into one video, one song. But rather that bring up the same old complaints, the same accusations against Robin Thicke and what a poor example of a human being, father, and husband he is, I am more peeved at the complacency of people taking this video as no more than a summer feel-good song. Like really, What The Flying Fuck. Yes, these people may not exactly support the things said on the video or the images portrayed, the fact that they are willingly listening to it without thinking that it's wrong is what terrifies me. Then, of course, they try to defend the video and Robin Thicke with the same old line, "If you don't like it, don't watch it." ajdfjkashdfjkahdlfjahkjdhfkjahruthajdkfhakjfnavkjdf...
