Colette’s Got a Gun

That’s right, everyone. Colette Carr is back with a new music video.

And if Bitch Like Me wasn’t awesome enough for you, this one is called Like I Got a Gun and it features a sexy pool party, with a slip-n-slide, and naked-booty bitches galore.

What. The. Balls.

Be afraid.

I am afraid, you guys. Why? Because her album finally drops later this year. I am afraid that we’re all going to be exposed… to this.

I stole this collage from a Russian website and I am pretty sure that I now have a virus.

I think that Colette believes that objectifying women in her video and acting like she also enjoys slapping their butts is turning the stereotype of rap videos on its head and empowering her.

Unfortunately, I think it’s just in very bad taste.

Bloggers love her, though. And I’m all for women being badass. I really am.

But there’s a difference between being a badass and just professing your badassery. There’s a difference between challenging social norms and exploiting them to garner attention.

What disturbs me most is how many of her fans believe that she is somehow speaking for them. If those fans are reading this, I ask: what is she saying that you want to say to the world, but can’t? What is Colette Carr’s message?

Why are there so many butts and boobs in this video?!

What is the hidden, “deeper” meaning in these lyrics?

Everybody put your hands up like I got a gun
Like I got a gun, yeah, like I got a gun
Everybody put your hands up like I got a gun
Like I got a gun, stop, like I got a gun yeah
Like I got a gun…

Stop, drop, clap, clap, low, then bring it back
Now take your clothes off
Why? Cause I said so.

Maybe it’s just because she doesn’t give a f*ck. Maybe that’s the allure.

I just think there are more thoughtful ways to show it.
