Australian Politician Condemns Pussycat Dolls Video....
The Pussycat Dolls have been accused of degrading young women by a leading Australian politician.
Tony Robinson, the minister for Victoria, wants the group's videos banned in the country.
Robinson - who witnessed the video while working out in the gym - said in parliament, "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.
"The manner in which that group of girls is portrayed is nothing more than a deliberate and calculated effort to titillate an audience.
"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".
