The clip first appeared last Thursday, but there is still controversy swirling over the content of the music video accompanying the #1 song in the country, Eminem's huge hit "Love the Way You Lie" featuring Rihanna. The clip essentially consists of actors Megan Fox and Dominic Monaghan portraying a relationship prone to violence, but that also includes passionate lovemaking. Meanwhile Eminem and Rihanna both perform their vocal sections of the song onscreen. Entertainment Weekly posted one of the first responses in the press asking if the video portrays domestic violence responsibly. NPR's The Record complains about Rihanna, herself a victim of domestic violence, being relegated to the hook in the song. The Atlantic points to commentary from the National Organization for Women's (NOW) president Terry O'Neill who claims that because Rihanna's part is simply narrative in the song and not judging the situation, she is unwittingly glorifying it. Take a look at one of the most controversial music videos of the year below, and let us know. Does it handle the subject matter well or does it make domestic violence look glamorous?Via - http://top40.about.com
