Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' Unrated Video Models Keep Teenagers Entertained and Shocked [LOOK]: 'I Love Watching Girls Degrade Themselves'
While Robin Thicke goes through a legal battle with Marvin Gaye's family over his summer hit "Blurred Lines," teenagers are weighing in on the song and unrated video models. The Fine Brothers' "Teens React" series brought together girls and guys between the ages of 15 and 19 to voice their opinions on the controversial smash.
A few of the guys had a bit to say about director Diane Martel's decision to make the video models go topless. As Ethan, age 17, thought it was unexpected but attention grasping, 19-year-old Devin could appreciate the obvious nakedness.
"It was very entertaining, the unrated version," said Ethan. "I was surprised but entertained."
"I love like watching these girls completely degrade themselves," chuckled Devin. "Maybe it was better because it was less blurred lines and more to the point. Everyone is on the same page like 'These girls are being sexualized'."
Although Ethan was smitten by the video, he feels the models aren't women to look up to.
"It's not a good portrayal for them and it is not anything girls should aspire to be."
After listening to the song, Jeordy, 16, questioned the state of music and entertainment in her generation.
"Is this what they call pop culture?" asked Jeordy. "That's what pop culture is? Putting women down 'Oh, you know you want it'?"
Rebecca, 17, felt a bit disturbed after watching just the censored "Blurred Lines" video.
"It made me feel really uncomfortable, I felt a little violated," said Rebecca. "It's disrespectful to make something like that because women are not really like that."
One girl in particular had nothing but good things to say about the unrated "Blurred Lines" models.
"These girls are so pretty I can't even deal," said Lia, age 16. "Their very very pretty and I think they are just having fun, you know?"
When the teens discovered that Thicke's excuse for degrading women was because he, Pharrell, and T.I. are married men - making them the perfect guys to poke fun, a few called "bullsh*t" while others couldn't believe he didn't get a divorce for the comment.
"Sounds like he is just using a cop out to not sound like a d*ck," said Devin.
"What? And he is still married?" asked 18-year-old Madison. "What a douche!"
After the singer claimed the above statement was just a joke and declared the song and video to be apart of the feminist movement , 18-year-old Tom said he was "lying" while Ethan thought that was the wrong way to go.
"Saying it was a feminist movement was probably not the right idea," said Ethan.
Overall, Devin just rather not like the song because of what it stands for.
"When I listen to the song its not even like my life is any better afterwards. My life is actually a little bit worse because like I've become a lesser being," said Devin. "It's fine bit a little embarrassing to society that this is such a popular song.
Rebecca believes people should start making more of a stance against the song.
"If we keep saying it is just a song and it doesn't matter, the behavior is going to keep getting worse."
Sam, 17, still love "Blurred Lines" regardless of how explicit it is.
"I don't see what's such the big deal about naked people," said Sam. "I still like the way it goes and it is still gonna get stuck in my head all the time."
