Washington, Aug 16 : Girl band 'Pussycat Dolls' has been slammed by Australian politician, Tony Robinson as a 'titillating lingerie show' meant to degrade young women.
The minister for Victoria watched the American band's album while working out in the gym.
"This is allegedly a group of young women who sing, but anyone watching that video could be mistaken for thinking that, far from it being about singers, it is more like a travelling lingerie show," Contactmusic quoted Robinson, as saying.
"The manner in which that group of girls is portrayed is nothing more than a deliberate and calculated effort to titillate an audience," he said.
The 45-year-old politician who represents the Australian Labor Party has urged a ban on the band in his country through a bill in the parliament.
"Those sorts of videos are not artistic expression; they really are trash. They devalue women, they devalue music and they encourage the very behaviour that we are seeking to ban through this bill," he said.
