The woman is naked - or looks like she is. Only a flesh-coloured leotard covers her body. Her long blonde hair tumbles down her back. She's in a cage, sliding her fingers provocatively in and out of her mouth.
A scene from a cliched pornographic film? Sadly not. The woman in question is Shakira, a pop superstar and the fourth richest singer in the world...
Meanwhile, in the video for her single, Rude Boy, Rihanna, an American pop star most famous for having been beaten up by her boyfriend, is dressed in leather bondage gear. She writhes on the floor...
I have just spent 24 hours watching MTV's various, numerous channels. My eyes hurt. My brain has lapsed into a confused coma. I felt nauseated one moment, bored out of my skull the next...
Spend a Friday night watching women parade in town centres the length and breadth of Britain and you will be able to see for yourself that they take the drag queen make-up and hooker uniform they see on screen literally...
In the U.S., the National Coalition On TV Violence condemned MTV as early as 1985, while the loudest critics were cable TV mogul Ted Turner and Al Gore's wife, Tipper, who took exception at the sexual content of many hip-hop videos...
What I saw on MTV, and have glanced at several times on the internet, was an entire sub-culture of mainstream music videos in which sex is the only currency: in which girls wear bikinis, and boys take their pick.
It's depressing. It's demeaning. And it's corrupting a generation who simply don't have the moral guidance that would lead them to turn it off.

“The woman is naked - or looks like she is.”
What, no pics?
don’t we have rules about posts like this?
Well nice pic but she does NOT “look naked.”
When did MTV start showing music videos?
The images can be seen in the video for her single, She Wolf, which will be watched obsessively, again and again, by thousands of young men and women, many of whom will form the opinion that writhing in a cage is precisely the way ‘sexy’ women should behave.
Only if they are retarded, ate paint chips or happen to be crack babies.
What kind of peculiar masochism is this?
Well, at least the idea that it’s something special. Which it is, like a skunk poop in the punch bowl.
In Britain you gotta be careful what you say about that -- even in explicitly religious schools -- or the equality police will getcha.
At least she doesn’t throw up on stage.....yet.
niiiiiiiccce!
***Only a flesh-coloured leotard covers her body.***
Big deal. I saw flesh colored leotard covered dancing girls thirty two years ago dancing to the tune...You Make Me Feel Like Dancing. It was on...(ready for this?) The Donnie and Marie Osmond show.
That is a very attractive woman.
TWAS EVER THUS!
She’s uhm, quite uhm, what’s the word....flexible.
Hey Girl, I can see your body moving
And it’s driving me crazy
And I didn’t have the slightest idea
Until I saw you dancing
And when you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody cannot ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected - the way you right and left it
So you can keep on shaking it
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She makes a man want to speak Spanish
Como se llama (si), bonita (si), mi casa (si, Shakira Shakira), su casa
Shakira, Shakira
