Rammstien in Australia News: Metal band stars in hardcore porn video clip

[CJC]

[QUOTE] A German heavy metal band popular with teenagers has caused outrage with the video clip to their latest single showing the musicians taking part in graphic hardcore pornography.

The video for Rammstein's song "Pussy" shows the band members engaging in a variety of sexual acts with women, interspersed with shots of the group performing and waving the German flag.

While the band have not shown the video on their website, they link to a pornographic site where the clip can be watched.

Aside from a warning of "nudity and sex scenes" on the webpage, there is no control to prevent teenagers — who make up a large portion of Rammstein's audience — from viewing the video.

Adolescent psychologist Michael Carr-Gregg said there was little difference between the video and the usual pornography available on the internet.

"It highlights the need for parents to do three things: one is to make sure kids have the computers in a public place, have an online filter, and have parents monitor what their kids do online," he said.

"The best monitoring of all is shoulder-surfing, so regularly checking what kids are looking at online.

But heavy metal and sex have always gone hand in hand, according to QUT professor and author of The Porn Report Alan McKee.

"It's explicit pornography but it's a generic hybrid, so it's pornography but also a music video," he said.

"It would be X-rated if it were released on DVD in Australia."

Professor McKee said the video was "juvenile, lowbrow and obsessed with sex, but that's not a bad thing".

"Heavy metal has always been about sex and if you go back to the '70s with Black Sabbath, there was outrage because their songs are about sex," he said.

"It's not the music that's making adolescent men think about sex — it's adolescent men thinking abot sex making heavy metal popular."

The clip is directed by Swedish filmmaker Jonas Akerlund, who has made videos for hit songs like "Beautiful Day" by U2, "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga and "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.

Akerlund had previously attracted controversy for the video he made for The Prodigy song "Smack My Bitch Up" with allegations it promoted violence against women.

Rammstein's song "Amerika" reached the position of 46 in youth radio station Triple J's Hottest 100 for 2004.

I thought it was blamed for turning kids into Satanists. I guess it gets blamed for whatever the topic of the day is.

Heavy metal causes cancer, more at nine

[MarkG06]

Why doesn't the Aussie government just ban the internet all together considering that you can just google tits or whatever the fuck you feel like jerking it to.

You're doing it wrong.

It's Danke schön.

[bigdan]

I dont see why this is a big fuss, teenage girls in Australia put out like super whores on crack.

And its not like many people in Australia listen to metal any way.

[Teh Zip File]

Oh no, teenagers will see porn. Like they haven't already.

[editline]05:46AM[/editline]

That music video is probably one of the weirdest videos I'm ever going to see though.

[Kazumi]

I thought the video was hilarious.

[CJC]

It's fair harsh living in Australia at the moment,
nothings going to change until our politicians stop ignoring the censorship bill.

[Thedekoykid]

I got to QUT! Huzzah.

[PressBtoJump]

So porn is allowed, yet violence are gore isn't?

I agree that it's stupid that they banned L4D2, but it's not as stupid as if they were to ban this.

I mean, banning porn is fucking stupid, banning violence is logical. People are allowed to have sex, they aren't allowed to blow peoples heads off.

That said I still think that the censorship is unnecessary.

[the_shape]

So what?
Marilyn Manson's video for (S)aint was far more disturbing than this one, and I don't remember any ruckus about that one.
Australia sure enjoys censorship.

[editline]02:49PM[/editline]

Oh, also, Rammstein isn't heavy metal.

[ThePutty]

Impeach Rudd

[Thugaim]

Holy shit, the lead singer has a cumshot scene lol

[dutchah]

Jesus christ, they really need to shut up about this. Metal is demonizing us, it's turning us into sex predators, it's making us violent, what else?

And OP needs to learn how to spell.
