If any of my more tasteful jammers unfollow me, I'll understand...

Calling it explicit seems to be an understatement to me. (though you're not the first one to go there). In this case I can see funniness of it all. Toward the end the quick succession of all the images the 'youth of today' is exposed to really works. It's probably a very accurate portrayal of their thoughts. :)

Liking it for the song which is good, and yes the video is funny, but whoa! ;)

@MsSue_ I had my misgivings about jamming it, but curiosity to see the response got the better of me!

@AlicejustMay I'm mostly curious about the "had to review it for work" part...

@AlicejustMay I don't think I would have had the guts to do it, so kudos and a big round of applause. I did check out a previous of this band's videos and it was bare breasted hot chick stuff. Looks to me that in trying to break through they are going for the push the boundaries of the music video method. Sigh.

@thisismymistake Part of my job is reviewing promos for the ad /production company industry, and this year it was decided that the existing site specialising in TV ads should have a separate microsite to the subscription-based TV side of things. It's still fairly basic, but DavidReviews is long-established, so we get promos sent to us. This came in last night. Can send you the link if you like.

@MsSue_ The reason it got sent for reviewing was that Megaforce - the directing team - had done a controversial pop vid with Is tropical before, which got a lot of attention because of the cartoon violence involving children. The boy in this particular vid is one of the youngsters who turned up in the previous one: http://www.davidsvideozoo.com/SearchResults.asp?ClipID=30529&SPCount;=1&StartRow;=0&BrandID;=5230&CompanyID;=0&PeopleID;=0

@MsSue_ And I totally share your reservations... I wouldn't have dreamt of jamming this if it wasn't for the above and my interest to see what would come of it. Oh god - inadvertent pun.

@AlicejustMay I am not a prude by any means, just not very brave ;). Just watched the The Greeks video. Liked the video more than the song. Keep the jams co.... errr, whatever....

I thought that video was hilarious! Brilliant! Youth of today!!!!! In fairness, I think masturbation and orgies (fantasy or reality) have been around forever....The video reminds of this video....To my mind this song is a lot better though (sorry)

@corcorankelly Evidently way ahead of its time!

@philipnareike #SleazySaturday... that's about right!

@corcorankelly Haven't had a chance to watch yet but will do asap :)

@nazardo... No, I suppose not! I know I don't, personally speaking.

Even whole websites are following your example. (the band does get the exposure they were aiming for I guess) LOL If you're on Facebook check out https://www.facebook.com/22tracks?hc_location=stream

@AlicejustMay cool!

@AlicejustMay one day is kinda a short window, both for jamming or listening. Maybe we should make all our day themes just weekend benders?

@AlicejustMay I sure hope the assignment came with a NSFW warning... :)

Bloody hell. Only the Frogs could make CGI pervily pornographic. The only thing which could make this clip better, and somehow "acceptable" in a humourous sense, is that at the moment of, uh, climax, the owner's wife came back in and told her "handyman" that she wanted him to give her a good seeing to. I'd like to see the look on his face then... Oops.

The song is very catchy, I like it. Good on you for posting it though, it is so very rude indeed!

7 years, 9 months ago

AlicejustMay

Thanks, @abigail.deeks and everyone else who's commented I guess my feelings on it are: to paraphrase @corcorankelly, porn is as old as humanity itself; there's always going to be someone looking for a new way to get it viewed and in turn get themselves some attention (I guess I have to include myself in this by dint of jamming it); it's still dispiriting to see women depicted as these impossibly pneumatic versions of themselves even if CGI'd... more to come (sorry, sorry, everyone)...

...but at the same time, teenage boys are just mobile lumps of rampant hormones and hey, yes, it's funny; just as are so many other awkward, embarrassing and downright puzzling things that happen to us throughout our lives because our bodies dictate it thus. And despite the fetishised shape we expect women to have today, there's always something about the human (and especially female) form we've fetishised - from footbinding to mouthplates to Victorian waspwaists... besides (yet more on way)...

corcorankelly

@AlicejustMay No need to apologize! The argument about the representation of women is there....but also you could say the representation of a man as a sex crazed lunatic with noting on his mind but sex is also offensive....but they are just fantasy figures in his mind - a masturbation fantasy - it is not something we see carried into his every day life treating women like sex objects. I think he was very mannerly and respectful to the woman before she left. It's just an absurd fantasy - from

...I don't think I'd want to see a return to the bearded illustrations of that famous 70s classic: The Joy of Sex, whatever we're headed for.

AlicejustMay

@corcorankelly Cheers, chuck! I was just thinking it through out loud, if you see what I mean.

7 years, 9 months ago

AlicejustMay

@HaveACuppaTea Ha! Am going to call myself that all day now.

corcorankelly

the gigantic women figures as big as a house to the scene where he has sex with a man and what not.....it's all absurd satire. It was inventive in ways if puerile in humour. But, what would we do without puerile humour...we'd can be adult all the time! I don't think the video is anything to take seriously....But on this type of subject and women using sex or reclaiming how they are used in music videos....in particular rap videos....what do you think of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2GC

I'm just thinking out loud too as you can see from the grammar!

@corcorankelly Just checked out the Moscow Metro track - quite like it - trying to think who it reminds me of - but the youtube link above says the video doesn't exist. Boo!

@dutchzaphod Many thanks for the link... will head on over.

@corcorankelly I know who they remind me of: The National.
