It's a song designed to shock, because controversy guarantees instant fame and record sales these days (remember that Robert Palmer hit anyone?). The chart is full of dross sold by naked women (and that's just from the female artists themselves) and gimmicks designed to shock. Strangely it's something that artists like Adele don't have to do, oh but hang on, she can actually sing and write decent tunes can't she.


On a deeper level though, sex sells has moved from just car sales to pretty much everything now. Page three calendars seem almost tame. We talk all the time about how the media and arts have negative impacts on the self image of young people, but instead of doing something about it, it get's worse.

You might be right bob. I think human nature has always harboured this attitude towards sex, women etc but what I find uneasy is the open display of it now through mainstream media. And we barely bat an eyelid. We seem to be more outraged by cultures that deny women education and the freedom to drive for example than we do by a culture that makes mobile phone porn accessible to children.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
