Brittany, lead singer of The Chipettes
and former co-star in Alvin and the Chipmunks, gave a controversial
performance during some annual music award ceremony. Much of the
outcry stems from the suggestive dress and dance moves put on by the
chipmunk adored by many prepubescents and middle-aged men.
“It's just not right for younger fans
to see this kind of behaviour,” says Cheryl Newman, head of the
group Conservative Religion And Politics. “I mean, I don't let my
children watch this so-called 'music television' channel since most
of the programming is smut; but if I did, I wouldn't want them to see
this!”
The short song-and-dance routine, a
mostly high-pitched rendition of another popular act, incorporated
several suggestive dance moves, such as: “twerking”, “sporking”,
“pelvic thrusting”, and something called “The Creep”.
Etymologists remain baffled by the origin of the names, but research
is ongoing.
Not all feedback has been negative.
Howard Torbin of the left-leaning People Organized for Opportunity
and Progress claims that the performance was “an effort by Brittany
to shed her 'little girl' image and come out as a mature adult. I can
think of no better way to communicate this than by dancing like a
stripper. Maybe if she posted some photos of herself smoking,
drinking, voting, and buying a lottery ticket.”
Many letters of support have arrived
from the furry community, but were discarded as a matter of course.
