Artistic expression; how far can you go?

Rapper Eminem has again reached his goal to shock the world by his controversial music video. In the clip for his new song Space Bound, it is all about his girlfriend cheating on him. It resembles two kinds of reactions to this unfortunate event. In the first part his lyrics and his actions are all about killing the girl for cheating on him. In the second part he realizes that it was all in his head and he therefore pulls the trigger. He matched the lyrics to the different parts of the song, at first really angry and how he wants to kill her and in the second part how sorry he is for killing her and he does not want to live on anymore without her. That was not good enough he ends up back at the beginning jumping into his girlfriend’s car when she stops next to him.

Should this video even be allowed to be shown on the television? It is truly horrible and it can be inspiring to very vulnerable teens. There are so many people fan of Eminem and some of them are really messed up and are going to follow his example. As an artist you are supposed to express yourself and I am absolutely for that thought, but not if it can cause any harm to others. Unfortunately it is already too late and it is also not the first time he has done something like this, but he should get some help before making music. He is obviously disturbed by what he has gone through in his life, but there are so many more people who are in a place in which they can seriously harm themselves or somebody else! So if there could be some way to prevent this sort of videos, use it!
