Queen got 'em Brit politicians mad over her fake gun spree!
Quote:
Politicians in the U.K. are demanding an apology from Britney Spears after accusing the pop star of glamorizing gun violence in her new music video. The pop superstar has filmed scenes for her latest single, “Criminal,” in east London and during the Bonnie and Clyde-themed shoot, she was photographed running out of a convenience store in Hackney waving a fake pistol. Local politicians on Hackney Council have now criticized the pop singer for using the replica weapon and asked for an apology from the star. Councilor Ian Rathbone tells London Tonight, “I think she should apologize and make a sizable donation to a Hackney charity that deals with young people… for the rudeness and damage she’s done to this community.” Hackney’s Member of Parliament (MP) Diane Abbott fears Spears is drawing the wrong kind of attention to gun violence. She adds, “It is only a music video but it’s images like this, with pop stars glamorizing gangs, which means that some young people… get drawn in. Britney should really know better.”
it's all about money. There was a news video in the Brit thread of them asking some council man and he said he thought she needed to donate to blah blah blah place. Not once did he say why he thought Britney using the gun was bad... Just that she needed to donate. So sad that it's always about money
I'd like to apologize on behalf of my country. Our politicians are moronic, annoying, wishy-washy retards with no backbone who go after stupid tiny things like this rather than tackle bigger issues.
