Ugh, someone on my facebook just posted this video and I watched it again, hating it even more this time... This time, the thing I flared up at most is that it basically blames the mother for this girl going down the "wrong path" and ending up with HIV. The mother didn't provide a good environment so the girl was screwed up and made a lot of bad choices looking for attention because she never "learned how to love" properly. At the end, when the scenario is drastically different, because the mom got married and provided a "good" life for her, she thanks her mom for teaching her how to love (the message being that because the mom was a decent parent in the second scenario, the girl was successful instead of a "dirty whore"). That really pissed me off; I think especially because this is exactly how my own mother would view things if she found out about me stripping. She would blame herself and make it all about how she was a failure as a parent and didn't "raise me right." My mother raised me just fine, and me being a stripper has nothing to do with some sort of flaw in her parenting. Because of my parents, I know "how to love" just fine, and nothing they did wrong set me down the "path of whoring"... sheesh
