Although he was once a strong opponent of censorship in the music industry, Donny Osmond was taken aback by the content of Lady Gaga‘s music video for Telephone.
He says:
“I’m all for freedom of speech and against any form of censorship, but all I know is that I’m a parent and I’m upset about this.
Unlike 20 years ago, in today’s modern, viral world in which content becomes instantaneously available irrespective of age, I wonder whether the music industry might need to rethink its marketing policies with regard to making an explicit music video containing profanity, sexual exploitation, nudity, and graphic violence available to anyone with Internet access.
I wouldn’t want my child to watch this video. Would you? What do you think? Should these two extremely gifted female role models for millions of young girls, maybe, have given a little more thought to the effect it might have on their core audience?”
Parental discretion is advised, Donny!
Do U think he’s prude or just plain old?!
