Dear Music Industrial Complex, Do you mind if I call you Mic? I normally don't write about pop music, but I am upset. I know that sex sells, but may I make a special request of no more music videos consisting of purely women's undulating butts? In 2014 alone, I have been subjected to the waxed and oiled derrieres of Beyoncé in all but two of her 14 videos released this year, of Rihanna and Shakira in I Can't Remember to Forget You, of Nicki Minaj in Anaconda, and now of Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea in their Booty video. When the venerable New York Times is writing about butts, the butt needs to stop here.
