Lines are blurred as #THICKE parody video pulled for being #OFFENSIVE

[Alpha]

So this is doing the rounds in Middle Earth today, and I thought I'd share and provoke some discussion.

A Blurred Lines parody video performed by some girls and guys at Auckland University's law school was today removed from YouTube after only a few days (and 300,000+ views) for being too offensive*. The 'feminist' interpretation of the video is essentially a role reversal of the original, and can be seen here for the time-being:

NSFW (language, dance moves may offend, may upset patriarchy)

The original (removed): YouTube
The original context was a yearly revue, as part of a series of comedy videos and performances prepared by students. The intention was first to be funny, and second to make a point. But mainly to be funny (from the girls' own mouths in interview I watched 3 hours ago).

* Or maybe for breaking copyright, but the people who made the video said copyright was not cited in YouTube's explanation. And parody constitutes fair use.

So, why do you think this video is too offensive, but the original is allowed to amass millions of views? Bit of a double-standard. Seems like the point was made.
