What an outrageous song and music video!

While watching the television the other night, I happened to see a music video on a local station that really just upset me. I sat there watching the video and wondered to myself, what in the world could influence someone to create a song like this?

Critics will have to acknowledge that all the tests went well into the final day and there were periods, long periods too, when the West Indies were either in the ascendancy over or at the very [...]
