Britney Spears is in trouble with MPs for glamourising gun crime in London. Yes, really.
Brit was recently in London filming the video for her latest single Criminal – during the pop promo she runs around Hackney with her real life boyfriend Jason Trawick and the duo rob a shop and hold staff at gunpoint.
Politicians aren’t happy with Britney for brandishing a fake gun, with one disgruntled Hackney Councillor going on London Tonight to voice his anger,
“In this case we did not agree that a replica gun could be used at Stoke Newington Town Hall and we are disappointed... We will be raising this matter with the production company. I think she should apologise and make a sizeable donation to a Hackney charity that deals with young people... for the rudeness and damage she's done to this community."
MP Diane Abbott also condemned Britney for the violence in her video, "It is only a music video but it's images like this, with pop stars glamorising gangs, which means that some young people... get drawn in. Britney should really know better."
Do you think these stuff government types are taking a pop music video way too seriously, or do you think they make a good point?
