Did Britney Trick Little Kids Into Swearing With A "Naughty" Song?
The following italicized article is from www.examiner.com:
Apparently, a group of parents in Australia are upset after they bought the new Britney Spears cd, "Circus," for their young children, because it contains a song that includes hidden swearing.
The song is titled "If You Seek Amy" and is actually a sound alike of "F-*-*-K Me". The line in the song that is causing all the trouble is
"All of the boys and all of the girls are beggin’ to/If You Seek Amy."
Leonie Barsenbach told the Australian news website Undercover.com that she bought the album for her five and seven year old kids, and now she feels duped. "I got them the Circus album because little kids are Britney fans, but there was no warning on the album and none of the songs listed had F-*-*-K in the title. Listening to it, it is extremely blatant and offensive. I feel I have been deceived into believing that this was acceptable content for children but instead it is objectionable."
Honestly, it is hard to feel too bad about someone getting "duped" after buying a Britney Spears cd for an elementary school kid. What could she possibly be expecting? Britney has not been hiding her sexual content- in fact, it has been a key part of her comeback. First, step back and consider whether you should be buying the "Circus" cd for a five year old, then we can talk about whether Britney is trying to get something over on you.
