Another
Video Controversy from Eminem 5/20/05
Eminem is set for another video controversy with his latest promo Ass
Like That, which features girl-on-girl puppet action.
The rapper has teamed up with the comedy team behind US puppet TV show
Crank Yankers for the naughty video, which features puppet girls making
out in the cinema and furry female strippers.
Two of the puppet lesbians are supposed to be Olsen Twins Mary-Kate and
Ashley. In the song, Eminem raps, "Mary-Kate and Ashley used to be so
wholesome / Now they're getting older / They're starting to grow bum
bums," while also praising Hilary Duff and Jessica Simpson and
suggesting Britney Spears has "shoulders like a man".
He also pokes fun at Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction, rapping,
"Janet, is that a breast? / I think I just saw a tit".
The naughty rapper ends the song with a plea to Gwen Stefani
"So Gwen Stefani, will you pee pee on me please? / I ain't never seen
an ass like that".
Eminem, who makes rare voiceover appearances on comic Jimmy Kimmel's
Crank Yankers show, where puppets re-enact crank calls on unsuspecting
members of the public, is also featured in furry form in the promo.
The video also contains rude hand puppet Triumph the Insult Comic Dog,
who famously upset a grumpy Eminem at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards with
a live comedy routine in the audience the rapper didn't appreciate.
Triumph also gets in on the controversy with a monologue at the
beginning of the video, suggesting SIR ELTON JOHN only likes Eminem for
the rapper's oral sex skills. |
