Quando è uscito in radio e soprattutto sul web, Blurred Lines, il singolo di Robin Thicke, ha subito fatto parlare di sè, in particolare per l'uso della donna come oggetto nel video della canzone.
Dopo di lui anche Justin Timberlake ha seguito la stessa strada e con il brano Tunnel Vision ha mostrato donne completamente nude che danzano sulle note della canzone.
E così, per rispondere al video di Blurred Lines, un gruppo di burlesque di Seattle, i Mod Carousel, ha realizzato un video parodia in cui le donne svestite sono state sostituite da uomini oggetto delle attenzioni e delle provocazioni delle tre protagoniste femminili: Caela Bailey, Sydni Deveraux e Dalisha Phillips.
Nella descrizione al di sotto del video si legge l'intento della parodia:
"It's our opinion that most attempts to show female objectification in the media by swapping the genders serve more to ridicule the male body than to highlight the extent to which women get objectified and do everyone a disservice. We made this video specifically to show a spectrum of sexuality as well as present both women and men in a positive light, one where objectifying men is more than alright and where women can be strong and sexy without negative repercussions."
Un modo per farci aprire gli occhi e per farci capire che l'unica possibilità non è quella della donna svampita e docile e dell'uomo virile, ma ce ne sono tante altre.
Ecco il video e il testo della parodia di Blurred Lines:
BLURRED LINES
Everybody get up
