Should Britney be Banned?


The ever-controversial Britney Spears is in hot water again. This time, she's getting flack from The Parents Television Council for her latest single, "If U Seek Amy" . The nonprofit organization is urging radio stations not to broadcast the song because they believe it "would violate the broadcast indecency law" if aired between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.

PTC president, Tim Winter, had a few things to say about Britney's new single. "Saying the title phrase quickly out loud produces a sound akin to spelling out the F-word," he said. "There is no misinterpreting the lyrics to this song, and it's certainly not about a girl named Amy."


But the controversy isn't stopping U.S. radio from playing "If You Seek Amy." Six Top 40 stations have the song in rotation this week, enough to place the track at No. 92 on the Billboard Pop 100 chart. Listen to the song here to hear what all the controversy's about. Do you agree with the Parents' Television Council? Should radio ban Britney?

Britney should be banned from the radio. This album has been out for quite a while and this song has been played countless times already -- much of the public didn't realize her obscene lyrics until now when it was brought up on the news. It just adds to the circus that is Britney Spears.
