What do you think.? I point out that I am much older than most of you and seem to have taken a lifelong interest in pop music. I remember the sex pistols causing a rumpus years ago.....that black geezer did My Ding A ling (chuck Berry) and Mary whitehouse complained.

The American thought Presleys [umping hips would end civilisation.. I gather what is being objected to now is videos.

On Ga Ga I think she is just a well-worked publicity stunt.

Totally agree with everything said by SugarPasteFrog.

My first thought was to age certify certificates too and apply watersheds, but TBH I don't think it will help anything. These days kids can bypass it all to easily by accessing it on the internet. I think it's the mainstream acceptability of it all that needs to change. I thought it was pretty well accepted that the typical listening age of a pop artist was between 9 and 30, so the record companies know that young, impressionable children are seeing these images. They just don't care about the objectification of women and the normalisation of violence as long as they see the money. Sad

I hope we'll see some restrictions on the Internet before long.

This is one of the worst videos I think:

In reality the mechanics in that garage would be hairy arsed old men with bits of their dinner stuck in their grey beards!

In Taio Cruz's video they are all gorgeous, sexy, sweaty and clearly gagging for it!! Taio is obviously fully clothed, and is even wearing a leather jacket which is surprising because the women are wearing tiny shorts and sweating!!

He sings above them whilst they all gyrate like dogs on heat - only in a mans head!
