she should just get the surgery already: quite the study in silicone-fueled paranoia, the new shakira video ("objection (tango)")goes something like this:
-there's an extended opening tango section.
-shakira gesticulates as if she were a zombie or, at the very least, the living dead.
-shakira discovers her man is cheating on her. she reasons that he's stepping out because her (shakira's) boobs are small, and this new girl's pair is very obviously not.
-she sings: "next to her cheap silicone i look minimal/that's why in front of your eyes i'm invisible." (subtitles are added for the hearing-impaired. and to emphasize the point, i guess.)
-cartoon sequence/wish fulfillment: shakira slaps around the boyfriend and deflates the other chick's tits.
-batman and superman show up to beat up the boyfriend. this is not part of the animated sequence.
-catfight between shakira and the big-chested girl. shakira emerges victorious. wasn't even much of a contest.
-shakira picks up a guitar, but not before doing the zombie thing again. then, she plays the guitar.
-finis.
it sounds like "rock lobster." it looks like a conflation of diddy's "been around the world," jacko's "thriller," and mariah carey's "heartbreaker." it is utterly, utterly fabulous.
