Avril Too Sexy...Really?

According to sources at Starpulse.com, “pop-punk” princess Avril Lavigne has had some protest from representatives of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (heretofore referred to as the PMIP) for being too suggestive in her stage performances. Said PMIP official, Kamarulzaman Mohamed, “We don't want our people, our teenagers, influenced by [Lavigne’s] performance. We want clean artists, artists that are good role models.” Mohamed has also confirmed that he has sent a protest letter to the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry and the Kuala Lumpur mayor.
To dip into history a bit, let’s understand where these accusations make their birth. Malaysia has a strict performance code that all artists, Malaysian or otherwise, must adhere to in order to be deemed decent enough for the youth that no doubt would fill the seats of the concerts. Namely, all performers must wear clothes that do not promote drug use or any sort of morally crude message. Artists must also be clothed from chest to knees and resist the urge to jump, scream, hug, or kiss on stage. Because of the difference in performance protocol from Western regulations, last year Christina Aguilera and Beyoncé Knowles canceled shows in Malaysia. Gwen Stefani was quoted to have had to make a “a major sacrifice” when performing fully clothed. Also the Pussycat Dolls found themselves in deep trouble when the Party reported that their performance was too indecent—they were fined 10,000 ringgit (that’s $2875 USD, folks). While an official at the Culture Ministry has stated that the concert has yet to be officially confirmed yay or nay, a spokesperson from Galaxy Group, the company organizing the event, has assured the Party that there are no signs of suggestive or offensive behavior. The no-name spokesman also stated that he was confident that the permit for Lavigne’s performance would be approved, as all feedback from the authorities therein have been, quote, “ very positive”. I never thought I’d see the day when barely sexual anti-pop stars were considered too lascivious for public consumption. I guess it just goes to show you that even teen angst can ruffle the system. All those emo-ites who got a rude awakening in the Soviet Union with their skinny jeans, black eye shadow, and suburban darkness have passed their good fortune to over-pampered grunge sisters whose only real crime is trying too hard to sound bad ass. If you ask me the PMIP is doing those poor kids a favor by saving them the pain and agony of listening to a whole lot of whining about absolutely nothing in particular. Save your money, kids, and get an education! RELATED: avril lavigne
