I don’t agree with the “well, they hear worse on the playground philosophy”. I am a parent, and it is my job as a parent, to filter things that my child is exposed to. Notice I did not say shelter. There is a difference. You have to pick & choose what you believe your child is ready to handle. And then hopefully by the age of 18+/- you have done your job well enough so that they can handle all of the crap that gets thrown at them and can make responsible moralistic decisions. That obviously didn’t happen in Britney’s case.

Man I’m glad I live in New Zealand and don’t have to think about this sort of thing half as much as America does (not sure about the UK)
There have been celebrities who come here and are really shocked and all “omg” that you can swear on the radio and TV, well to a certain extent and obviously on tv not in children viewing times and the radio stations that kids have a tendency to listen to will censor before a certain time at night.

And you know what it hasn’t damaged our kids.
Plus I heard more shit on the playground then I ever heard from radio or tv and you know what, I had no idea what any of it meant. And I’m pretty sure I have not turned into some sort of sex crazed drug addict from being exposed to things like that.

I have only my own experience to draw on, and ‘gay’ never really explained to me, as my parents had gay friends, so it was just assumed that some people liked their own gender.

and actually I did think of it like hair colour. it just was, no need to explain :)

That’s so.. unusual for Britney. Her songs usually come down to “ooh yeah woah dance sexy ooh”. This is actually.. a word play? I hate to say it, but it’s kind of clever.
Though I’m not surprised that, according to Jimmy Slade, someone else did it first.

When I was young I totally heard songs that were about adult issues and since I did not know about these things in my mind it would morph into something I did know.

The only example I can think of right now is the song Sercret Agent Man. I thought it was Secret Asian Man. I had not seen James Bond but I did have a best friend who was Korean.

I agree on your first point, i feel the exact same way about tv and radio, i shouldn’t have to worry about their contents, that’s just insane.. We pay for cable don’t we? i called the cable company a few months ago to complain about their stupid content, i mean, on the news channel, on a sunday, at 8:30am, there was tila tequila, that show she’s got, and of course, i never deleted that channel, because it’s supossed to be the news channel, and then my 5 year old daughter came to ask me why are 2 girls kissing each other on the lips, and what’s up with the tongue… I was like WHAT?…… I went to check, and sure enough, that was on the news channel.. I mean, wtf.. I would understand if it was another channel, i would understand if it was late at night, but the news channel at 8:30am on a sunday??? that’s just sick.. But anyways, they told me it is what it is, and they can’t do nothing to help me, and the only thing i can do is delete, basically, 100 channels out of the 101….. And i pay them for that.. It’s absurd..

Again, i agree with Indigo.. It’s not that our kids are stupid or anything, that’s exactly what makes things harder, actually, the fact that they’re way too smart and things weren’t like that when we were kids..
The other day there was this girl, about 6 y.o. and she had an ipod, and she was singing “crazy bitch” by um.. well, whatever the band’s called, im sure you know the song cus it was very popular at one time.. And me and my husband were like WHOA!……. I mean, come on! where are her parents? a 6 year old singing crazy bitch? are you kidding me?….. But ah well.. I agree with Indigo.. lol..

I totally agree with Indigo.. It really gets to me that they sell clothes like that for kids, it’s fucking sick… but ah well, like Indigo said, if you don’t like it, don’t buy it, and as much as i love Britney, i wouldn’t let my daughter either watch her or listen to her… Even hanna montana is not for kids, i think..
