Here's the video for the Roots song "Birthday Girl" starring 20-year-old AVN Performer of the Year 2008 Sasha Grey. The video brings the expected perving, and the anticipated criticism of our repressive, yet sex obsesssed media. According to Sasha:
"For me, it sends an interesting message," Grey said. "Our society
is obsessed with using sex to market videos, films, music, campaigns,
etc., etc., but yet porn is considered taboo and immoral. The concept
of the video is a girl turning 18, and luring men to her because she's
of age, and her sister isn't happy about it.
"The entire video
is filled with sexual innuendos, which is quite normal," she went on.
"It will be exciting to see how many viewers get angry that a porn star
is playing the role of a young woman who is embracing her sexuality in
a naughty way."
There's no better example of judgmental voyerism than this segment of The Insider featuring Ms. Grey.
We love how the clip invites viewers to "reach out to Sasha about the path she's chosen." We'd like to reach out to Pat O'Brien about his well-worn path to the tanning beds, but
that's really none of our business.
