No reason to smile today
Rihanna is lashing out at (overly?) concerned parents who are lambasting her for the strong violence depicted in her new video, Man Down.
Just one day after such outspoken groups as the Parents Television Council, Enough Is Enough and Industry Ears took issue with the video � in particular, a scene that shows the singer shooting a man who had assaulted her � Rihanna shoots back via Twitter:
"I'm a 23 year old rockstar with NO KIDS! What's up with everybody wantin me to be a parent? I'm just a girl, I can only be your/our voice!"
That is not all�
"Cuz we all know how difficult/embarrassing it is to communicate touchy subject matters to anyone especially your parents!" Rihanna added. "And this is why! Cuz we turn the other cheek! U can't hide your kids from society, or they'll never learn how to adapt! This is the REAL WORLD!"
The pop star really socked it to them: "The music industry isn't exactly Parents R Us! We have the freedom to make art, LET US! Its your job to make sure they dont turn out like US."
Hmm, I wonder if Will Smith, (who used to sing Parents Just Don�t Understand) and is now a parent, will understand. I�m sure there will be a lot of parents and others who won�t share RiRi�s sentiments.
Oh btw, if I were Chris Brown, (after watching Man Down), I�d be afraid� very afraid.
