I know people have been looking forward to this video, myself included, but having seen it...

Love, Sex, Magic- Ciara

Am I the only one left feeling offended by that? It's so chauvanistic.

No Justin. No.
It's not good.
And it is kinda offensive.

didn't watch the vid, only because I think this song sucks :\ it gets an instant station switch when it comes on.

I'm not offended by it. I just didn't like it.

Apparently the video is not available in my country, so I have nothing to say about it.

It wouldn't surprise me at all to find that it's chauvinistic, though. Justin's own output definitely is! I mean, 'Losing my way' is a song I like, the harmonies in the chorus are great and I find myself singing along, but I also want to slap the 'person singing the song' - ie 'Bob' - with a gigantic haddock.

Thanks for the link. I'm now feeling.... I dunno. I'm beginning to hate the world's images of The Sexy Woman, because they are so very remote from anything I ever will/did look like. Also, that's a gorgeous woman, except - chained? behind bars? in an animal suit? me no like. I suppose when it comes down to it, this is woman seen entirely through male eyes.

Also, Justin can act sexy when he's interacting with her, but when he's looking at the camera, I always get the impression he's just not that into it all!

But, I quite like the song.

Yes, all of that. Also, their love sex magic is quite one-sided, and sex-centered.

What also annoys me is that it was directed by a woman. !! Stop perpetuating the stereotype and do something fun instead! Come on, can't you think of anything to do with Justin Timberlake?

Well, I do like the first five seconds.

That was seriously directed by a woman? That makes the whole video even worse. :P

The video has been removed apparently...but I would have liked to have seen it. I love bitching about chauvanism!

Justin looked hot, but god, the whole thing pissed me off. I hear Ciara is a good dancer, why couldn't they have just danced or something?

There is a feminist movement of sexual empowerment of women.

However, I do not believe that this video exemplifies these beliefs.

It's just an insult to women.
