but maybe in that 'I probably should not find this humorous' sort of way. Makes you reconsider the original video I think, because the original made it out to be normal to react as Taylor Swift did. Domestic violence is never really an option if society wants to be consistent and avoid double standards...

Instead, it was intended to show how the crazed media wants to view her romantic relationships.

It seems half her songs are pining for some guy who's going out with cheerleaders, girls who dress for attention and aren't "nice" to the dude.
