i just want to get some opinions on the new prodigy video for 'smack my bitch up'. in case anyone hasn't seen it, it's basically shot from a first person perspective and is a series of shots of women being fondled and generally harrassed, with lots of clever vomiting footage. i'm just wondering what meaning, if any, people find behind this video/song. is it in fact mysogonist? i was a little unsettled by it, but i don't think there's much meaning (sexist or otherwise) in any prodigy track. i'm not really asking for prodigy bashing, or really even opinions on the song's merit as a track at all. i realize politics are not a popular topic on this list either, but i think this video requires a little discussion. any opinions/insight appreciated. - wells oliver : xxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xxx "all these things we'll one day swallow whole and fade out again and fade out again"
