This is the original famous music video by Prodigy that claimed fame to being one of the first music videos banned on MTV due to controversy. The controversy, in case you didn’t catch the headlines back in the day, was due to a bunch of feminists marching and protesting against the video being allowed in the United States because of the graphic nature of the acts being done in a first person camera view. At the end of the video the persona looked into a mirror and the character turned out to be a female. The protests were in response for the widely known fact that “A female would never do that kind of stuff.” So for you musicians thinking of creating a violent, sexual, or derogatory music video be sure to keep it all male, with the obvious exception being if nun rape is already in your script…of course.
