For those of you who haven't yet seen the standard or unrated (work-unfriendly) versions of the music video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines", you're not missing much. It's the standard fare for music videos, fully clothed men singing while half-naked women dance.
For those out there uninterested in half-naked women or objectified women, Seattle boylesque troupe Mod Carousel has a solution for you. They remade the work-unfriendly version of the music video, but with the genders swapped. If you look a the description of the video, it thankfully serves a greater purpose than gratuitous male semi-nudity…
"It's our opinion that most attempts to show female objectification in the media by swapping the genders serve more to ridicule the male body than to highlight the extent to which women get objectified and do everyone a disservice. We made this video specifically to show a spectrum of sexuality as well as present both women and men in a positive light, one where objectifying men is more than alright and where women can be strong and sexy without negative repercussions."
Regardless of whether you're trying to protest the objectification of women or simply appreciate the male form, you can see the work-unfriendly video (via Buzzfeed) AFTER THE JUMP. Just be sure to glance once or twice over your shoulder beforehand…
