Lilly Allen's latest controversy

I like Lilly, and she has come back with a vengeance.

The opening skit shows Lily on an operating table, undergoing lipo while a (male) surgeon scorns how she let herself get into such a state. “I’ve had two babies, Lily feebly protests, while she’s handled and judged like a piece of meat, presumably indicative of how Lily thinks women in music videos are treated.

You go Lilly! Yaaay

Inequality promises that it's here to stay

Great lyrics, I vote Lilly to re kick-start feminism :wah:

Excellent dancers in the video but I just can't forgive Lilly for her version of the Keane song in the John Lewis Christmas ad :-5

I don't think this is all that controversial but then I happen to agree with her. I especially like her F*uck you song.

It was brought to my attention due to it being racist.

She is a very modern lady and thats for sure

I had to go back and watch it again, puzzled as to why people are claiming it's racist :-2

The twerking Black women. Even though they look like they're in on the joke, the pearl clutchers are sure they're being used and abused.

I'm really beginning to hate people. This politically correct BS is making me very cranky.

It is BS isn't it. Just don't see it, overall the video is a sarcastic portrayal of stereotypes that others have manufactured regarding women.

Perhaps all factions want a bit of the publicity her comeback kicks up ?
