  I don't think she's trying to shock anyone. This is just par for the course she plays on... it's not like she's ever pretended to be innocent like some other "accepted" female role models (Miley Cyrus). Who young girls/women perceive as role models should have more to do with the way their parents raise and influence them than it does with anything they see on TV. I firmly believe that if parents are involved, and communication is open (even if it's about raunchy pop videos) kids (boys and girls) will be able to make their own, educated decisions about who the aspire after. Keeping this kind of thing in the closet, just sets them up for major shell shock when they're old enough to explore it on their own. Just sayin.

  I love it. I applaud her for, once again, embracing herself, her sexuality and her music and refusing to tone it down just because it may make people uncomfortable. Ultimately, it's got a great beat, you can dance to it, and the video is really more comedy than actual S&M propaganda. It's fun and funny. I'm gonna watch it again. :)
