Filmmaker and internet-funnyhunter Jason Wishnow does a weekly "video of the week" thing on Nerve; this week's selection is a music video for this song that starts out:
"Nobody loves you like your mama loves you
But who's lovin' your mama? I am. I am."
Jason tells Boing Boing, "If Michael Jackson's video for Billy Jean was made by the traumatized kids at the Neverland Ranch instead of a committee of record producers, it would be our current Weekly Pic." Here's a snip from his review on Nerve:
The other night, a couple of friends invited me over to watch television with their three-year-old son. He's infatuated with the latest European children's program, in which rainbow-colored ovum move about the screen, powered by flatulence. There I was, watching what suddenly seemed to me the Decline of Western Civilization, wondering whether my parents worried as much about my childhood exposure to Blacula. But then I realized that my friends and I fretted about our parents' influences as much as they worried about ours. The new music video for Kennedy's song "Your Mama," in which the singer brags about sexing up a MILF, plays right into kids' anxieties about their parents' moral rectitude. I spoke with the director, Joel Lava.
