Eleven countries join YouTube in Rihanna’s “S&M”video ban, yet some fans, including Perez Hilton, do not understand why people are getting in a tizzy about sex.“It’s something that everyone does and yet people are embarrassed about it. You’d think she was showing her crotch in the video or something the way people are reacting.”
Her fans—or at least that one—is confused about what the real issue is. The problem is not sex at all, but Rihanna’s hypocrisy.
Last year, in a live interview with Diane Sawyer, Rihanna went on national television to set the record straight.
“I just didn’t realize how much of an impact I had on these girls’ lives until that happened.”
In 2006, Rihanna founded The BELIEVE Foundation. A foundation purportedly developed to inspire and protect children in need all over the world.
“Rihanna recognized the only way to secure the future of our world is to ensure the health and well-being of our future leaders.”
So, exactly what kind of an impact and security does she BELIEVE posing half naked on the cover of magazines and simulating sex on videos will have on the well-being of “these girls,” “our future leaders?”
To be clear, Rihanna does not want little girls to be victims of domestic violence, but she would rather have little girls all over the world, imitating you, throwing sex all over the place like candy from a float in a parade?
I’m guessing if that’s okay, in their impressionable minds, domestic violence would be okay as well. Just glamour it up . . . with someone else’s work, which by the way, is the topic of a lawsuit against Rihanna by famous fashion and celebrity photographer, David LaChapelle.
LaChapelle claims that images the pop star used in the S&M video are copies of his works. Sexting, banned videos, sexual innuendos, half-naked magazine covers. Piracy. Why not Rihanna?
