Australian parents with young children are angry that a loophole has allowed the Britney Spears` `Circus` album to be released without a parental warning.
The offending song is ‘If You Seek Amy’ which when sung sounds like ‘F U C K me’.By calling the song ‘If You Seek Amy’ instead of ‘F U C K me’, the album has bypassed classification.
Concerned parent Leonie Barsenbach told Undercover News that after innocently purchasing the ‘Circus’ album for her two children, she found them singing ‘F U C K me’ aloud in the house.
“I was astonished and totally taken aback when I heard my 5 and 7 year old kids walking around the house singing F U C K’,” she tells Undercover News. “When I asked them what it was, they told me it was Britney Spears. I was horrified”.
Ms. Barsenbach says she is not opposed to course language in music or films but when it comes to content for children, she wants to have a say over what her small children will or will not hear.
“What I dislike most about this is that they have bypassed my authority as a parent by going under the radar by changing the wording to avoid issuing a warning,” she says.
‘Circus’ does not have a warning sticker. Under Australian guidelines, it should have been labeled with at least a Level 1 warning for “infrequent aggressive of strong course language”.
Britney Spears` biggest popularity is in the 5-14 year old demographic, the age bracket most moderated for children by their parents.
