Violence In Our Video Against The Mainstream

The reason I selected this video to finally back up the claims that our video is in-fact not that violent and support similar claims made by friends that our video would have made it into the mainstream is very simple. The violence in this video and in comparison to the style ours was made if just as extreme. The acts of murder, gun violence, revenge and rape are all aspect within the 110+ million hit Youtube Music Video by Rihanna. The similarities between ours and hers are in fact there is a murder, violence with a knife (not gun), revenge and a mugging (rather than raping). It is arguable that this is still an extreme video and shows blood as well as being very realistic but many other aspects, such as the rape, are mainly implied. This, a long with a full on murder being visible, make our video very tame in comparison to one in the mainstream market by one of the worlds biggest musical icons.
