Childless, unattached heterosexual men woefully under-represented in new Mariah Carey video
Mariah Carey has covered Foreigner’s classic (IT IS AN EFFING CLASSIC) “I Want To Know What Love Is”. If you are not familiar with the original, just watch VH1 Classic for half an hour. Any half-hour. It’ll come up.
In the audience of the video for Mariah’s new number you are presented with a range of demographics with which to identify.
Which one are you?
1. Eminem, aged 7 (possible subtext: before he became “Obsessed” with Mariah)
2. Easily-inspired, independent (i.e. divorced) divorcée with “strong support network”
3. Gay man testing society’s tolerance to the limit
4. Eminem, aged 7 and a quarter
5. Single dad (it’s not explicit, but let’s face it - this chap’s wife died in some horrific manner)
6. Ugly spouse
7. Noble black lady policeman/stripper just about to clock on
8. Eminem, aged 8
9. Attractive disabled lady with endlessly supportive partner who definitely doesn’t cheat
10. “Oral doesn’t count”

So wrong I like it. The post, not Mariah.
Wow, it’s like the Identity Parade round on Buzzcocks, complete with abusive intros. I think I’m… number eight.
Unfortunately Eminem aged 6 and a quarter isn’t an option…
