Defined Lines

Although it may seem as though this blog is predominantly ruled by 'Blurred Lines', it isn't. However, with the stir caused by the video, the song and its affiliates have remained buoyed in the spotlight. 

The latest news is based on the feminist parody 'Defined Lines' which is the product of the imagination of University of Auckland law students, particularly Olivia Lubbock, Zoe Ellwood and Adelaide Dunn (the Law Revue girls). 

The video subverts that of Thicke's creation, with scantily clad men being treated like sex slaves by the three fully clothed women. However, the real controversy stems from the temporary removal of the video from YouTube after being flagged as having 'inappropriate content'. The video has now been restored after an appeal by the Law Revue girls, who stated that whilst they understand why it was flagged that it is also a 'massive double standard' with it being taken down and that the negative response is 'just funny' because it shows the public's views on the objectification of the male models, whilst the response to Thicke's video were predominantly positive.
