A teenage girl duo accused of promoting "paedophilic pop" have gone straight to number one in the UK charts.
Russians Julia Volkova, 16, and Lena Katina, 17 - known as Tatu - knocked Fame Academy's David Sneddon off the top spot with their single All The Things She Said.

In a raunchy video accompanying the single, the girls kiss and fondle one another while dressed in school uniforms.

The video prompted TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan to call for the song to be banned.

Madeley branded them "sick", and Finnigan denounced them as "paedophilic entertainment".

The duo's creator, Ivan Shapovalov, has admitted that Tatu are what he called an "underage sex project" designed to appeal to men in search of "underage entertainment".

The child protection charity Kidscape has reportedly described Tatu as "pathetic".

"Child pornography is not funny and should never be laughed at, it is disgusting," Kidscape's Michele Elliott told the Daily Mail.

At first I thought it was just plain overreacting when I saw this article, but I thought twice when I saw their creator's comments about the two girls being "an underage sex project designed to appeal to men in search of underage entertainment", with which I agree with Richard Madeley (shh! ;)) in saying that it is quite sick.

Anyone else have any views on this?
 
Well my mate just came back from holiday raving about this music video he'd seen of 15 year olds gettin' down to it.

Guess it has reached its target audience. :rolleyes:
 
I guess that depends on age somewhat, to me 16 is way underage and eugh!
 
i just DL the video off kazaa....much ado about nothing.
this is just the type of nonsense that makes no-talent groups rake in millions. just like 2 live crew and insane clown posse.
you'd think everyone would know the teenage creed by now, "if the adults dont want us to know/listen/read/play this, it must be great stuff,or, it'll piss em off if i get it.
 
it's all an act...and they're getting attention, which was their goal. and they did do that right...they reached a huge target audience which doesn't listen to music, but to crap in a wrapper.

and they are the wrapper this time.

paedophilic pop...well....wouldn't that be the case if one of them was 18+ and the other wasn't? they are both underaged. :shrug:

and child porn...come ON...they choose for themselves to get attention with these acts. and how many girls haven't kissed other girls when they were 15? to learn how to kiss? is that porn as well?

or was that just my fantasy here? :eek:


j/k :p
 
I'm sure he's the one you want to be taking advice from. :rolleyes:


It's an act, however, I did not realize that they were both under 18. Some child pornography could be involved here, but again, I have to ask, where are their parents? I don't care if she could make millions, my little girl isn't making highly suggestive videos when she is 16 or 17 years old.
 
That's what the priest said, isn't it? Let me guess, you interupted him watching home videos of last years boy scout swim meet too, didn't you?
 
I don't know..he was rather busy with a 'private filming session' so he hurried me along. Anyway, i'm sure he is of sound method and mind.
 
It is disturbing. The move to make something ok is always gradual. We've been working towards this for years. As long as there's no fine line as far as right and wrong goes then the limits will always be pushed and the waters tested. It's the nature of humanism.
 
the video doesn't do anything for me... but then i've probably seen too much real porn to be phased by anything that's going on mtv...

wether or not it should be allowed... my gut feeling is there's nothing wrong with it, but i suspect a persuasive argument from either side may swing me
 
didn't even look like they kissed at all. just touched lips and a lot of nose/cheek rubbing. cheesy.
 
kazaa and virtualdub do wonders for a frame-by-frame analysis of the thing. i now agree with spot.

there's about a total of 10 frames in the whole thing were you could actually say there's lips touching. that's not a lot of time...
