Maroon 5’s New Video Gets The Distasteful Vote From RAINN

I love it when people get their knickers in a knot. It can be incredibly entertaining, especially in the comments section. It can get quite emotional.

And people are getting rather emotional over Maroon 5’s music video for their new song Animals.

The video portrays lead singer Adam Levine as a butcher, who stalks a woman home. The theme is not being welcomed at all by sexual assault support group RAINN (Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network).

“Maroon 5’s video for “Animals” is a dangerous depiction of a stalker’s fantasy — and no one should ever confuse the criminal act of stalking with romance. The trivialization of these serious crimes, like stalking, should have no place in the entertainment industry.”

Have a watch of the video and see what you think. Is it touching too close to a sensitive topic?

Many of the band’s Twitter followers have also expressed distaste.
