Very young girls are letting the F-bombs fly in a new viral video for FCKH8 -- a group fighting for women's rights. But is this the best way to get the message out?
It definitely started a conversation, as the debate reached The Talk on Thursday morning.
"We were really split on this," said The Talk co-host Aisha Tyler. "I liked it. I'm less offended by language and more offended by actions."

In the video, which has gotten more than 10 million hits on Vimeo, six girls dressed as princesses curse 16 times in two and a half minutes while promoting pro-feminist issues.
"The company's point was to shock people into paying attention," said Adweek's Michelle Castillo. "They've definitely made their point."

With a title like My Idiot Brother and the casting of Paul Rudd, you might expect this to be another Judd Apatow or Adam McKay thingy with Will Ferrell or Seth Rogen playing the intellectually challenged title character while Rudd wears a suit and a straight face. But rather, according to The Hollywood Reporter, this project is actually an indie comedy from director Jesse Peretz (The Ex), and Rudd in fact has the role of "the idiot brother."

Late in the powerful documentary Very Young Girls, Rachel Lloyd, a former prostitute and founder of a NYC non-profit that helps young streetwalkers regain control of their lives, receives an award for her efforts shortly after Three 6 Mafia collected an Academy Award for Best Song for Hustle & Flow. It's a sobering moment: The Three 6 Mafia song (and the movie it represents) seems harmless enough, but that harmlessness points to a softened public perception of pimps that doesn't jibe with the real deal. And that's one of the many obstacles Lloyd has to face as she tries to wrest these damaged girls not just from their pimps, but also from a justice system and a culture that's rigged against them. Why is Lloyd's scrappy little organization the only voice speaking for these girls? This...
