Tell Me :
Talk
Right??? If that makes me pc, then ok.
Cringeworthy for sure by todays standards.. and a bit then, but lots of that type of imagery in the mid-seventies, where films like Deep Throat and Happy Hooker played at mainstream theaters etc.
It's a time capsule. Funny to think that was remotely acceptable...sort of along the lines of 'black girls just wanna get...'. Wouldn't fly now, and that's a good thing.
Rock and roll has often played with bad taste, I used to love it and I still love it.

I remember reading about the controversy about this video when it came out (a few years before). Hilarious!

That's not very "woke" is it? You could never pull a stunt like that today and expect to get away with it. Of course, if someone were to make a promo showing Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion pegging some white dude, I'm sure no one would have a problem with that.

I think the print ad caused the controversy back then. Was it Jerry Hall in the ad?
I've never seen this before.

I thinks it’s the same girl who was on the poster and on the billboards at the time. No idea who that was

Big deal. Let's not cancel the past. It wasn't all that controversial then. It's not even that interesting a promo. No production values at ll.

When the decision was made to run this, there was probably a lot of coke involved.
