The Marina & The Diamonds video that caused some kerfuffle earlier this week is out now

  • September 28, 2012
  • Brad O'Mance

The mildly con­tro­ver­sial video for Marina & The Diamonds' new single 'How To Be A Heartbreaker' can now be watched on The Sun's website (only if you live in the UK though, apols).

WARNING: There is a lot of really ugly flesh on show. Marina in par­tic­u­lar looks abso­lutely hideous.

The 'Power & Control' hitmaker had this to say about the video's 'vision': "I had 100 per cent creative control over this video. I was like OK, lets get six Calvin Klein models and put them in the shower and I'll standing the middle in PVC."

Fascinating stuff, although given the pro­lif­er­a­tion of impress­ively-sculpted male models one can't help but feel Marina might have slightly mistimed this week's objection to her label's demands for con­ven­tional good looks. Maybe it's alright to objectify people and dwell on 'perfect' bodies as long as they're men. Right? RIGHT!
