PM bids for ban on sexy videos (Speaker s corner)

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/politics/4245757/PM-bids-for-sexy-pop-vids-kids-ban.html


Prime Minister David Cameron says kids should be banned from watching certain sexy music videos. Videos by Rihanna, Beyonce and Katy Perry are to explicit for kids to be seen. PM wants to have videos and other footage certified and deemed suitable for younger viewers, he attempts to ban these videos in order to prevent sexualisation amongst youngsters. Talks with the music industry will be held in order to get the industry to show appropriate types of clips. Some parents have expressed their concern about the influence and impact which these sexy videos have. Boys are susceptible and parents believe they might show inappropriate behavior towards women because that is what is shown in the videos. Many industries have responded by putting an age appropriate rating on the their films etc. The only industry not, yet, responding to the debate and recommendation by the PM is the music industry.

If the Prime Minister thinks that sexy music videos should be banned, he should ban the internet altogether. Everywhere on the internet kids these days can find porn much worse than the average Rihanna video. I do agree parental supervision is needed, but an entire ban is out of proportion.

  1. I believe there should be some kind of rating however I also believe the parents have a resbonsibility in this. Just like the games children play and films children watch.

  2. I agree with Dannielle that the major responsibility is with the parents! It's just a fact that sex sells so you can't blame the record companies and the musicians that they're making this type of videos. it depends on what the parents want their children to see!
