Kinda rapey.

So this song is super-catchy (warning, video is NSFW visually because boobs):

But also, um, super-rapey, (or at the very least...really freakin' disrespectful) no? I mean...

[ETA: SFW Version]

I actually kinda like the Bill Clinton version better:

Actually...I also find that the Bill Clinton version is much sexier. Because 1.) Bill Clinton and 2.) The kind of leering-objectification in the first video just SO isn't.

The Clinton one is awesome. I love the Obama cameo.

Yeah, the first one is, uh... what.

Yeah, the singer's quote was: “What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman,” he continued. “I’ve never gotten to do that before. I’ve always respected women.”

Well, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss that. I like to be wanted for my personality, but sometimes I'd be totally okay with being thought of as a dick machine. As NIN proved, there's something to be said for stupid animalistic sex.

Hey man, I'm all for whatever dynamic a couple wants to get busy with in their own bedroom. I'm all for good guys doing bad-bad-bad things.

His quote was specifically addressing the comments that his video was "kinda rapey". He was like: No that's ridiculous, we were just TRYING to be degrading.

I wonder how the woman feels about it? oh wait, what am I thinking, who cares about that.
