I was bored. As I often do I use search engines to amuse me. This time I put in “christina aguilera feminism” and a few links later I had this gem. The emphasis int he below is mine.
Later on that evening I flick over to see one of the most appallingly crap videos I have ever had the misfortune to see. ‘Stacy’s Mom’ by Fountains of Wayne is about a boy who has a crush on his friends mom. Mom is an all-American type blonde beauty who seems content to walk around in a bikini and get topless massages in the back garden. But that’s not what I most objected to. Stacy herself is a cute blonde girl who looks 13/14 who seems to share her moms hobby of walking around half naked. She sits by the pool in her bikini, sipping a drink wearing heart shaped sunglasses, no doubt in direct reference to the movie ‘Lolita’. When not relaxing by the pool she wanders round in hot pants and a sweatshirt. She constantly giggles at her little friend with the crush on her Mom and catching him masturbating over her in the bathroom is particularly amusing. No matter how much Fountains Of Wayne try to pass these situations off as comedy, I can’t help but feel they’re sexualising children. And what of our little blonde Stacy? I can’t help but feel that in a few years time she’ll be shaking her ass in some dire RnB video.
