  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Dirt Nasty - PUSSY TOO HOT (Dont watch it if your easily offended)

Avi, I was being a bit obtuse, but all I am saying is there are porno elements there and I didn't like the song, but that if I were to criticise it I would just be playing into their efforts to troll "self-righteous" people, which is where I think there's some wit to the video.

Whenever you include sex appeal as part of your art you run the risk of failing the 'is it art' test, which is a completely contentious question but most people seem to agree that they 'know it when they see it' (Justice Potter Stewart). So if you want to zoom in on the crotch of a girl in fairly skimpy attire you're running the risk of coping out to simple arousal, rather than achieving an artistic goal. The human form is incredible but there's no skill there, it's just already amazing.

TL;DR tried to joke with 'business' euphemism, offended people. But I think anyone using sex appeal in their work shouldn't have thin skin about this issue ;-)
 
I have seen his videos on Vine, so I got it right away. He is pretty over the top, but I still find him funny.
 
My take is the execution of the concept is exploitative, but at the same time trying to parody exploitative videos... As such, I think it's unsuccessful if intended as satire, but successful if intended as parody.

Well said, and in just two sentences.
 
Genius! I'm certainly not offended by beautiful women in a funny parody...political correctness...now that's offensive!
 
It's in the same vein as this:


One of my all time favorite music videos.

I think Avis video is not to be taken too seriously.
 
Seems appropriate for what it ridicules.
Radical mind states of idiocy, equivalent reflection in satire.


Satire is a genre of literature, and sometimes graphic and performing arts, in which vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, corporations, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon and as a tool to draw attention to both particular and wider issues in society.
A common feature of satire is strong irony or sarcasm—"in satire, irony is militant"[2]—but parody, burlesque,exaggeration,[3] juxtaposition, comparison, analogy, and double entendre are all frequently used in satirical speech and writing.

Avi,

The video is CLEARLY over the top at times. But some of the shots are amazingly well executed. Just the opening shot of the trees was stupendous. Great work on your part!
