I watched the interview on sunrise and was shaking my head at the lack of common sense the female guest had. I thought it’s the connection between role models and young children is obvious. Monkey see monkey do!!! And lady gaga is controversial which makes it ‘cool’ for young children. I agree with greg, why can’t you say words that are in allowed in concerts and music videos in Parliament. They are blind, they got offend with those words and topics you spoke in parliament when children are exposed to the same words. The female interviewer on sunrise said why can’t lady gaga express herself? Where do you draw the line? In her music videos she is naked with two naked guys and they are pretending to have sex. wow girls and boys watching this don’t have a chance. I haven’t seen much video of her concerts but if her music videos anything to go on i think it’s going to be more like a strip joint. Keep going Greg your message is going spot on, once it sinks in it will change Australia for the better.
I thought it’s obvious that children will copy famous people on television. It is so obvious why is there a discussion about if that’s a problem. To fix this obvious problem more censorship is needed across the board. Television, concerts, internet and stop the culture of sexualisation.
