    No Doubt 'Looking Hot' video yanked following racism complaints

    http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...sm-complaints/

    Here the video
    http://vimeo.com/52801554

    Really, racism? I mean the band, as mentioned in the article, is multi-racial themselves. As I understand it people felt offended because in some scenes you could see her tied up. Is that really so offensive that the video has to be "pulled off the internet"? Really, you can't dress up as a Native American anymore and dance around with your hands tied up, without someone crying how offensive that is? Why does stuff like that have to disappear. I don't see the sense in that.

    Only thing offensive is how terrible the song is.

    People get mad during Halloween because others choose to dress up as racial stereotypes (mariachi band, indians, kung fu master). This is basically the same thing. "Oh no! You can't dress up as an indian!" People will get pissed of at everything, it's silly and annoying.

    People need to grow a set.

    Also, when has anyone ever seen an Indian wear high heels?
    In a world of deceit, open your eyes.

    Thought the blatant native stereotyping could easily upset people given that it's within some people's lifetimes that natives only got citizenship.

    But far more offended and upset by the song. Music should be rallying against it.
    In fact as far as I'm aware the UK is the only european nation that outright bans guns for civilians.
    Shotguns I'll give you (provided you're allowed 12 and larger gauges... because I mean... come on...) but not .22s.
    This is why people ban guns. Gun supporters don't know what guns are.

    I actually start to like it, although the lyrics are terrible.

    As much as I hate No Doubt, I can't (well lol I can but still) believe the ridiculous shit people whine about. I'm surprised it wasn't the WoW community that did this, though. The second we get offended they yank shit left and right. Just look at Ji Firepaw.

    I thought about the same thing. It's sad, really.

    NO YOU CAN'T! THIS IS VERY OFFENSIVE TO NATIVE AMERICANS! WE ARE VERY PROUD PEOPLES! Now please get back into our casinos - these bottles don't fill themselves.

    I guess they were too distracted by "ermahgerd racism!!!" to notice how absolutely *fabulous* those cowboys were.

    I can see it now: In the future, all music videos will involve the bands dressed in grey jumpsuits playing in front of a grey screen.

    While singing unintelligible nonsensical lyrics?

    I heard about this on the radio when I was working out today.

    At first I just thought people were being sensitive, but then when I saw Gwen Stefani tied up and being held hostage by cowboys I was like.........that's not cool lol. I wouldn't say it's extreme racism but it's slightly offensive I guess.

    To be fair, it's a lot better and artistic.
