UK Organization Calls Eminem 'Evil' Over New Video 'Space Bound'

Rapper Eminem has been labeled “evil” by a women's rights organization in the UK that is taking a stand against his new video “Space Bound.”
In the video for “Space Bound,” Eminem fantasizes about choking and killing his cheating girlfriend, who is played by porn star Sasha Grey.
Mothers Against Violence is an organization that was founded in August of 1999, to serve the inner-city communities of greater Manchester and the surrounding areas in the UK.
“People who do this are really quite evil," a spokesperson for MAV told the Daily Mirror. “Children are influenced by the things they see. If we feed violence, it becomes strong. Like an addiction."
MAV accused Eminem of only thinking about money and not the impact that the video could have on his young fans all over the world.
“It’s all about the money with these videos," the spokesperson continued. “Eminem isn’t thinking about the families affected. It’s selfish – it comes to a point when selfishness becomes evil.”
Representatives for Eminem have not commented about the video as of press time.
Producer Jim Jonsin spoke about the controversial track “Space Bound” during a recent interview with MTV.com.
According to Jonsin, Eminem's video is no different than the violence that is seen as quite frequently on television and in the movies.
"Things happen in movies all the time. People kill themselves, people get killed, they kill other people," Jonsin told MTV.com. "When my kids watch it, I like to explain to them in that manner: 'It's like a movie, ya know? He isn't really killing himself.'"
