I am very disappointed by the latest news I have received: apparently there is not any Britney Spears sex tape. Now it would have been very silly of Britney to have made one in the first place and I am pretty sure her advisors would have been certain to warn her against doing something like that. As good as it would have been to see Britney shagging on tape for 4 hours, I’m not quite sure anyone would have paid $22 million for possession of it, which is what was claimed was on offer.
Britney has always sold her image on sex; her videos are erotic, suggestive and leave little to the imagination. I don’t mind this at all and have no problems leaving MTV on when one of her songs is played. While she is watched by plenty of red blooded young men like me, she is also watched by millions of young and adolescent girls, mostly of course, in America. There isn’t anything wrong with this but we should take this into consideration when discussing America’s entirely hypocritical values with regards to sex.
A couple of years ago there was an enormous controversy in the US when Janet Jackson’s bare breast (though her nipple was covered) was exposed on national TV during the Superbowl half time show. It was a national outcry, a crime against humanity, Janet Jackson became public enemy number 1. The television station which was broadcasting the show was even sued for millions of dollars as a result.
It was really was much ado about nothing. How really is that anything different to what Britney Spears does in her videos, which earns her the adoration of people all over the country? Not to mention a hell of a lot of money!
It was just a breast, half of everyone in the world has two of them, why should it be so shocking to see someone else’s? The US would do a lot better if they showed more breasts on television instead of so many guns and violence.
