He’s sexist and we know it!

It has been amazing to see the support for this petition. Since launching yesterday there are now over 8000 signatures and twitter has erupted with tweets condemning the song. Check out some of the most recent comments on twitter here: https://twitter.com/hashtag/LiterallyICant?src=hash A number of media articles have been published, many calling it the most sexist song of the year. Website Music Fix has announced a blanket ban on Red Foo with this article: http://music.ninemsn.com.au/Blog.aspx?blogentryid=1225250&showcomments=true Daily Life has written about the petition and Red Foo’s disappointing response http://www.dailylife.com.au/dl-people/celebrity-news/rapper-redfoo-under-fire-for-defending-literally-i-cant-the-most-sexist-song-of-the-year-20141112-3k4ml.html Time Magazine has written about Red Foo's defence of the song, closing the article with the words "Not buying it, because literally, I can’t." http://time.com/3578167/literally-i-cant-video-rapper-redfoo-defends/ Red Foo says we ‘don’t get it’ the song is a ‘comical party song’ and as an ‘artist’ he is being victimised. But it is Red Foo who doesn’t get it. The scenario presented in “Literally I can’t” where men sexually harass women and react angrily when a woman says ‘no’ plays out in the real lives of teen girls world wide. There’s nothing funny about it. Do Channel 7 and X Factor share RedFoo's views about women? Lets keep the pressure on Channel 7 and the X Factor to cut ties with Red Foo. Share the petition with friends - even if they’ve seen it yesterday remind them to sign it today.
