Rihanna's video "Man Down" catching some heat



Rihanna premiered her video for "Man Down" on BET's "106 & Park" on Tuesday. It has only been two days & The Parents Television Council is asking for the video to be pulled.

The video starts off with Rihanna shooting a guy in the back of the head. As the story unravels, it tells the story of her killing her abuser after being sexually assaulted. Strong & different from Rihanna.

The Parents Television Council has stated that it send a wrong message to young girls. Also instead of Rihanna telling the girls to get help, she looks for revenge instead. I can see why they are upset but get real!
They obviously do not watch "106 & Park" because there are many other videos that are kind of racy. From the many Hip Hop videos with girls wearing close to nothing or even some of the dances. Young people are going to watch what they want to watch, even if it is not on BET. Have you heard of YOUTube?




When I watched this video, I did not think it was too much. I grew up in the 90's and this video is like PG to me. I know we are in a different world but the PTC needs to look more into internet world when it comes to young adults. Do not blame Rihanna or BET. I think the song & video send a strong message to everyone out there. Let's wake up people!
