Commenting on this story in the Globe and Mail, I feel like it's just too easy to make fun of some people. You know, fish-in-a-barrel easy.
Apparently, the Canadian pop superstar was to perform in a concert in Malaysia later this month, but the concert was canceled amid complaints. What kind of complaints? Well, it seems that Avril Lavigne is just too darn sexy for Malaysia. Say what? Could these people, the ones complaining, possibly even remotely be Islamic Fundamentalists? Let's check the Globe for clues.
The Arts, Culture and Heritage Ministry said it had decided not to permit Lavigne's planned Aug. 29 performance because it is unsuitable for Malaysian culture. The decision came after complaints by the youth wing of a fundamentalist opposition party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic party.
Odd, how fundamentalists are never any fun. In the end, you must judge for yourself. Head on over to YouTube and click this link to view Avril's video, "Girlfriend". Decide for yourself. Maybe they're right. Maybe Avril Lavigne is just too sexy . . . for Malaysia.
At home
We are struggling with our own religious and neo-fascist here in the states. Since 9-11, if someone does not want to watch a beautiful woman sing then they can keep their butts in the air and head in the sand for all I care.
But..
...of COURSE fundamendalists have no fun.
In particular, they do not allow pre-marital sex.
Because it MIGHT lead to DANCING.
