Ho Sit Down: The Parents Television Council Is Shocked That Rih Rih’s “Man Down” Video Depicts Murder

Rihanna Man Down video

At some point, parents have to be able to determine what’s inappropriate enough for their kid that they need to turn the TV off, without making a federal case about it.

According to TMZ, the Parents Television Council is mad at Rihanna for killing a man in the video for the song that starts out with the line “I didn’t mean to end his life.”

The council is outraged that Rihanna would suggest that gunning down a rapist in a crowded train station is a proper form of justice.

The council says, “If Chris Brown shot a woman in his new video and BET premiered it, the world would stop. Rihanna should not get a pass …”

The council is all the more outraged that Rihanna tweeted her fans that the video contained, “a very strong underlying message 4 girls like me.”

The council’s venom is also directed at BET for airing the video

Really though? Okay, first why the hell does Chris’s name have to be brought into the discussion? And how did you not expect for this video to feature a man getting shot down? And where exactly did the video say it was “a proper form of justice”? Did Rihanna not look troubled by her decision? Do the lyrics not suggest even more strongly that she’s remorseful for her actions?

But above all, why is it Rihanna and BET’s responsibility to explain to your kids that TV is make believe??? GTFOHWTS.

    oh dear..did they pay you..agree with them ..this girl with 0 talent has to stop her shit

  • TriniGlamazon

    Just change the d@mn channel!!!!!

  • Kyoceraequate@yahoo.com

    & the Chris Brown comment was completely UNNECESSARY….why everytime someone mentions Rihanna they throw Chris name around?? Same with Chris Brown. Smh, they don’t know when to leave stuff alone. You could of used another example to make your point but what you’ll prolly end up doing is pissing a lot of people off.

  • ShortStuff

    I like Rihanna but that doesn’t mean I agree with everything she does. She could chill with the screeching & the oversexed stuff at times. But I find it funny that S&M got banned in SEVERAL countries but was still played here in the U.S. Just a thought………..

  • Yesyes

    They’re upset because the Island Girl is taking over. I would be upset too if I was from USA!!!!

  • Give Me A Break!

    So now it’s the responsibility of artist that we don’t personally know to influence/be an example to the kids we have?Uhm no!Turn off the tv,take away the internet,facebook,twitter and stop letting your kids hang with riff and raft.How about taking kids to church on sundays or actually spending physical quality time with the kids,lead an example for our own kids.Some people have got it twisted.

    Rihanna needs therapy!

  • 2012NOW

    People buy her CD’s, go to her concerts, support this garbage – the wring your hands and whine “why are our black youth so violent”.
    if you ever, ever expect to see a change or amount to anything, you have to break the chain. Blacks are their own worst enemies.

  • Sasha FLOPPED!

    LOL, people just mad because RiRi SLAYED any and everything beyonce has put out in the past month.

  • TheBlackMaleHitler

    If this was Chris Brown the media would be in a frenzy!

    Rhianna looks like one of the black barbie dolls, that I used to have when I was a little girl after the face was smashed down. Not trying to be mean, and she is pretty but she has that look.

    I’m a white male and I could see that Rihanna was the one that started that shyt 2 years ago. I think that the picture was fake & photoshop. That photo was NOT leak by the police dept. Rihanna PR team and others gave that picture to TMZ the next morning after they photoshoped it. When Chris was on one of the talks shows after the incident and they showed him the picture he was like oh wow where did that come from. Yes he was shock because he knew she did not look like that or did that to her. This piece of crap need to get some help ASAP and go back to her own country.

  • b-nice

    Rhianna is CRAZY!

    @Truth-You should change your name to Cesspool!! You are part of the growing problem in the black community. When one think, that the future generation have you to look forward to as future parents and role models if you aren’t a parent yet, for the poor child’s sake-may they look to intelligent books and decent role models to make it ok in this life, and if you already are a parent-then all the same. It’s amazing the things some people perceive and spew out of their mouth. Chew on this..

  • lalalove

    Smh..

  • C Allen

    Some parents are not raising their children and whether “artist” like it or not they do emulate and idolize them….way to take a chance and mold a young impressionable mind with smack about you not being their parent…..good thing mentors don’t have the same attitude.
    To some extent we are all responsible in one way or another for each other whether big or small on this Earth…..its what u do with what u have.
