		<description>I think it was a very compelling performance and was well sought out. It takes alot to be able to express how our relationships are in our lives and being able to have some type of comfort in knowing that these things happen, and there is help; is a huge relief to most of us. I think that Pinks performance was one of the best ideas when it comes to music and art forms!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know if it&#039;s just me or if everyone else experiencing 
problems with your website. It appears as if 
some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
Can someone else please provide feedback and let me know if this 
is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my internet browser because I&#039;ve had this happen previously. Kudos</description>

		<description>I realized I am not a victim any longer, not that I was helped, because I didn&#039;t tell my secret.  But, it is helpful now to know that there are millions out there seeking help now.  Pink&#039; video was explosive, and tastefully choregraphed.  If those who are not seeking help see and realize what she was depicting in her art don&#039;t feel strong enough to try to leave that abusive relationship then all they felt was the pain, shame humilitation, low self-esteem.  But, for those who felt trapped, and see through it and hopefully find the courage, confidence, and support that is readily out there to help, and seek it like a deer panting for water.  I only say thank you &quot;Pink&quot; for acknowledging it still happens in 2012, and someone cares to speak on it.</description>

		<description>This made me cry. I&#039;m not a fan of popular music, and I rarely see anything related to music like award shows, but this performance is SO VERY POWERFUL. 

My only hope is that young women do not see the dynamic of this relationshp struggle as romantic nor as an indicator of how they should keep trying to make the relationship work, but that they see it as a warning not to ignore the early-warning signs of a bad relationship and get out long before it gets to this level of violence.</description>

		<description>Pink may be trying to promote awareness of and open dialog about domestic violence, but I think this video perpetrates what society has been telling us for generations: any passionate relationship is going to cause pain and you must stay with it and work it out. I really do not like the lyrics in the refrain. Where there is fire (passion?) there is a flame, where there&#039;s flame, you&#039;re going to get burned, just because you&#039;re burned doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re going to die -- but sometimes you DO die! As long as domestic homocide is still a leading cause if death among women, this is not a message I want to see. 

In part the video reminded me of an excellent movie in the topic called Once Were Warriors. The couple in the film are incredibly, passionately in love and lust with one another, even after decades of marriage, but the violence is horrifying. The abused wife tries and tries and tries to keepit going, but finally realizes the abuse is hurting her children as much as it&#039;s hurting her and she leaves him, proving herself to be strong and able to there&#039;ve without him, even if her heart has broken. It will heal. Contrast this with the Pink video in which she seems to say that no matter how much it hurts, you must try, try, try. 

There seems to be a trend in the music industry to show powerful, successful women returning repeatedly to abusive situations. It makes me long for a new Madonna.</description>
