“Jingle Butts” Viral Video Sparks Controversy Around Objectifying Women Via NYDailyNews A spanking new YouTube take on “Jingle Bells” by a Canadian ad agency is being accused of being naughty, not nice — and “sexist pigs.” In “Jingle Butts,” a two-and-a-half-minute video by the envelope-pushing creative company Zulu Alpha Kilo, Spanish percussionist Jorge Perez of the jazz-fusion band PATAX gives new meaning to hitting the skins. Dressed in holiday green and a knit cap and flanked by two human cymbal stands, Perez uses four taut tushes as bongos to turn the beat around. The booty-licious drum sets, each in tiny red thongs, are not dressed for winter. Two of the butts presumably belong to men, as a coda suggests. No matter, the cheeky campaign has drawn ire about being sexist. “I really don’t understand this video at all. It’s 2015, almost 2016 and this is like a step back in time. Haven’t we come further than this? When are we going to stop objectifying women to this degree? And for a Christmas ad? Smh?” posted Joshua Smiley on Thursday. Are you disturbed by this video? As a woman, do you feel demeaned by such imagery? Image via YouTube
