No Doubt Removes New Music Video Deemed Offensive



Pop band No Doubt pulled the new music video for their second single "Looking Hot" after debuting it yesterday afternoon.
The move comes from a controversy about the video's use of Native American imagery. E! Online reports that the "cowboys and Indians" theme caused an uproar from people offended by the concept.
Thomas Dorame, a 22-year-old music major at Goldenwest College, said he is a member of the Tongva tribe and did not find the video offensive.
"People like to sensationalize things," he said, "good art is controversial. I'm not offended by it. With art, anything's up for grabs."
Fred Lopez, a 20-year-old music major at Santa Ana College, said he was surprised by the public's reaction.
"I didn't expect people to get so offended by it, the video seemed harmless," he said.
