Kylie criticizes the amount of 'sex and pornographing' of pop culture

LONDON, UK (Kylie Minogue Fans Website) - Although well known for skimpy costumes and provocative poses, the Australian singer Kylie Minogue, 35, has criticized what she calls the "pornographing" of pop culture.
She is "horrified" by the amount of sex portrayed in the music industry.

In an interview with the German magazine Der Spiegel, she said: "when I see some of these hip-hop videos, I'm as horrified as my grandmother and think, `Oh God, what gross things are they doing there.'"
She added, "In advertising and in lifestyle magazines, you see more and more of a pornographing of pop culture."

Her comments were echoed with a new study at the University of Colorado that found that pop had become cruder, more self-centered and sex-oriented. Researchers at the University of Colorado found that use of the word "love" in songs had reached an all-time low.

Also Kylie said older images of her in revealing clothing were harmless compared to what she saw in the media. "That I once wore something very tight and short pants is nothing compared to a lot of things you see today. My ideal of eroticism is more Brigitte Bardot."
