Well once again the PTC (Parents Television Council) is up in arms. Now it’s against Rihanna’s new music video for “Man Down”. They call it “an inexcusable, shock-only, shoot-and-kill theme song.” Sounds like they’ve been secretly doing a Quentin Tarantino movie appreciation session.

Well, the <a title="Rihanna, All Of The Lights Music Video" href="http://www.pinstripemag.com/2011/02/rihanna-all-of-the-lights-music-video.html">music video</a> is about a girl (Rihanna obviously) who gets raped by a man and the opening scene shows her shooting this man, but the rest of the video leads up to the rape scene and here going home and pulling a gun out of her dresser drawer.

What the PTC needs to understand is that music videos are an artistic representation of the musician’s music. Besides, I don’t hear any of the men complaining. Rihanna still does what she does best in any typical music video. She struts what her mama gave her.

In addition to that all she decided was to give that bit of a sequence a more substantial story line. That’s all. There’s no secret message if you play it backwards that says you should go out and shoot your attacker. In that case, why isn’t the Parents Television Council up in arms against the TV show “True Blood”? Is it because they magically understood that the show doesn’t condone the killing of vampires because of a few scenes here and there? Why can’t they use the same mentality with regards to this video as well?

Anyways, here’s Rihanna’s new music video for her song “Man Down”. It’s still a pretty good song, well, I’m still shaking my hips like that way she does in the video. No I’m kidding, I’m doing the man boob jiggle.
