KIDS should be banned from watching sexy music videos by the likes of Rihanna, Beyonce and Katy Perry, says British PM David Cameron.
The Prime Minister wants them slapped with an 18 certificate to save children from seeing explicit images.
It is part of Mr Cameron’s attempts to prevent the “sexualisation” of youngsters.
Government talks with the music industry will be held next month and the PM wants to act if bosses fail to behave.
A Government-backed review last year slammed raunchy pop promos.
The Letting Children Be Children report by Reg Bailey of the Mothers’ Union said: “Some parents expressed concern that these videos were influencing their sons’ behaviour towards women in a negative way.”
Mr Bailey yesterday said he had been disappointed by the music industry’s response.
He said: “Many of the industries mentioned in last year’s report responded positively to our recommendations.
“I cannot say that has been the case with music videos. Age ratings should be introduced for music videos.”
Take That star Gary Barlow is among those who have criticised pop videos.
He said: “Music videos are so sexual these days. It all filters down.” (thesun.co.uk)
