25 Mar 2010And so it's begun. I'm actually a little surprised it took this long! Donny Osmond, India.Aire, and even a member of the Australian Parliament have some issues with Lady Gaga's 'Telephone' video. Donny released the following statement:
"I'm all for freedom of speech and against any form of censorship, but all I know is that I'm a parent and I'm upset about this," the father of five said in a statement Wednesday.
"Unlike 20 years ago, in today's modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access," Osmond, 52, continued.
"I wouldn't want my child to watch this video. Would you? What do you think? Should these two extremely gifted female role models for millions of young girls, maybe, have given a little more thought to the effect it might have on their core audience?"
Meanwhile, India.Aire was a little more mild on twitter.
Don't be offended this is all MY opinion... Am I the only one who thinks the "telephone" video is going a bit too far?
And the Australian Parliament member claims the video "promotes promiscuity."
Something tells me Lady Gaga enjoys the attention this type of controversy stirs more than anything else- LOL. But do you think these people have a point or are they over-reacting to a music video?
