Lady Gaga's Born This Way has been criticised for its "demeaning portrayal of women".

 

A loophole in the law allowed extreme footage classified as sport or music videos to be bought by youngsters.

 

But from April next year the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) will assess such films and issue them with a "12", "15" and "18" rating if need be.

 

DVDs that have quite legally been exempt from classification, but the BBFC has received complaints about, include Lady Gaga's Born this Way video, which features nudity and a "demeaning portrayal of women" and the ***cat Dolls Workout Exercise video featuring s-xually provocative poses and movements.

 

Close-ups of female genitalia and the sight of a baby being crushed underfoot in the Flaming Lips - Christmas on Mars video caused upset, according to a consultation document.

Born This Way, a song and video about loving who you are and accepting others, is seen as a demeaning portrayal of women. Good going Gags. :emma:

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

The GP will obv. agree with them and be like : OMG yes ! Media nowadays is so s-xual and violent and this Lady Gaga is just a part of all that **** ..  :redface:  :crossed:
