Kylie whinges about pornographic pop culture

CMU reports:

Despite admitting her arse played a crucial role in her recent come back,
Kylie Minogue has said she is "horrified" by what she calls the "pornographing" of pop culture. Speaking to German magazine Der Spiegel she said: "When I see some of these hip-hop videos I'm as horrified as my grandmother and think, 'Oh God, what gross things are they doing there?' In advertising and on lifestyle magazines you see more and more of a pornographing of pop culture. That I once wore something very tight and short pants is nothing compared to a lot of things you see today."

Her comments follow a new study in America which says pop has become
"cruder, more self-centred and sex-orientated". Researchers at the University of Colorado, who say that the use of the word "love" in songs had reached an all-time low, put the changes in pop attitude down to the ongoing sexual revolution, greater affluence and the growth of hip hop.

Commenting on the video to her latest track 'Slow' Kylie says: "I'm just lying there and not doing anything exciting ... my ideal of eroticism is more Brigitte Bardot."

And a nice arse it is too.
Minogue is certainly no prude as she has modeled and pranced topless but though they look nice, maybe even hot, I can't think why Christina, Britney, Lil Kim, even the 5-1 Kylie etc would want to bare all so quickly.

It's the quickest way to lose respect and the quickest way to gain fans who only like what they get to see.

If any of those women Temple lists had any TALENT other than that of the world's oldest profession, they'd have something to sell besides their asses.
