Lighten up; it's a freaking music video for chrissakes, not an in-depth retrospective about Eminem's hidden hate of black people. Give me a break. Everything doesn't have to be such a big deal all of the time.

Since music is a product it's bound by the advertising and marketing law which states that one must not speak disparagingly about marketing competitors. There's a huge diffence between mocking and bantering. Eminem is mocking Michael Jackson in this video whereas for example Weird Al is banting artists in a respectful manner. The Eminem video is a perfect example of why we need the advertising and marketing law otherwise things would easily get out of hand

I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.
