Heavy Fuel video

As a feminist I find the "comedy" implied rape scenario at the end of this video deeply offensive.

The appropriately named Randy Quaid picks up a woman against her will and ots supposed to be amusing? No womder he is on the run.

the fact that he TOTALLY derailed (can link to some crazy videos here, but won't) can't be denied, but i am sure ALL of us laughed when we saw that videoclip back then? we nor mark were to know that Randy would turn out, well, so randy...
it was just one of the better ds videos, imho.

Meh, no worse than Benny Hill...   ;)

As an anti-feminist I strongly oppose your opinion since we others still have the sense of humor intact!   ;D

(...and since the video clearly caricatures the raunchy male roadie, I am offended because of that)

I still find the video funny and I do not believe that the mentioned scene implies to rape. There are other circumstances that require far more attention from a feminist perspective, not gonna mention some religious culture but you all know what I mean.

And leave the discussion at that.

The only reason to be reminded of the video is that the single has a photo from the video.
Come on, it is not funny anymore.
