Don't know what I was expecting from them really but stuff like this really pisses me off.
Miley Cyrus wears high cut pants on stage and there's much Shock Shock Shock Shock

Bruno Mars has a bloody pole dancer on with him and the rest of his fully clothed male band and no bats an eyelid. In fact I saw one piece that declared him awesome!

Wtf is going on with the world?!

Can't believe I'm the only one shocked by how normal this is!

You're not the only one. My twin dds stopped buying Bruno Mars because of the sexism in the videos.

YANBU. It's hidden sexism.

I'd always liked his music, never seen any of the videos though. Don't think I'll bother if they're anything like his performance.

Yes, and what about Justin Bieber allegedly sleeping with prostitutes. I find him vile but it seems to be 'boys will be boys'

Bruno Mars isn't marketed toward ten year old girls, his dancer did not have her vagina on full display through see through material while smoking weed and telling kids that drugs are great fun.

There is no comparison.

"Wtf is going on with the world?!"

It's called 'lack of talent'. If you can't sing, can't dance and your songs are crap, take your clothes off or stand next to someone who already has. Sex sells and Elvis worked that out about sixty years ago. I prefer good musicians 'togs on' personally....

Don't bother with MTV, watch Kerrang.

With the exception of Marilyn Manson's 'Tainted Love' video, which satirises the whole misogynistic video aesthetic, you won't find many pole dancers. Most of the female lead singers are significantly more well covered.

Zat I didn't mention anything about children Confused it offends me as a woman. Doesn't matter that she wasn't wearing a see through thong, there was still plenty of full on crotch shots that were not needed. I wanted to watch a music awards ceremony, not a sex show.

I just find it really depressing that things like that are seen as normal and acceptable. Maybe I'm just a prude.

There is plenty of good music out there if you ignore the over-hyped twaddle.

Amy Macdonald and a new group called The Overtones are a few examples.

Music hasn't got age and the backlog of great bands/artists is huge.

MTV is the devils work and should be ignored.
