Ok, I am getting tired of everyone freaking out about the music videos!!! I have talked to my friends parents who were there, teachers, etc. And yes they weren't happy, but the fact is, is that no matter how hard you freak out, you can't change what happened. What they did they learned from. And like some pointed out in previous posts (lots of them regarding this issue), it was probably someone in a media department who didn't know what the spirit of FIRST was all about and who didn't know the "criterion of approvability or appropriateness" for music videos. And being someone who is 19 and grew up watching MTV, that video should be the least of your worries. They could have played Mystikal's videos, Snoop Dogg's videos, or even that one with Blink 182 where they are all naked. Don't go about letting the whole year get ruined for yourself because of one person's bad choice (a.k.a. "Get Crunked Up&quot. I am sure they are learning from the experience, esp. with the way everyone is taking this issue.

p.s.: Would it have been more appropriate to see Britney Spears' up there, singing a harmless song but flashing herself around in an inappropriate way? I don't think you can get "decent" videos anymore these days.
