Pretty Ricky Want To Steal Your Honey Pot; Saudi Arabia Averts Its Eyes
I guess this sort of “show the sinfulness to the audience so they’ll know what to avoid” is in the grand tradition of Christian comic books depicting gory zombies and full-color beheadings to hook their teeange readership. Despite being down with the anti-smoking message, I’m not so sure about the western commercial prospects for such a square video, especially in a country where kids film themselves humping the floor to, uh, Pretty Ricky songs. On the other hand, it might be just what our hypersexualized society requires to turn itself around. Maybe Pretty Ricky needs a little Allah in their life to stifle those urges.
