No Rock And Roll Fun

MALAYSIANS DON'T WANT MARIAH, EITHER: Pity poor Mariah Carey - there she is, desperately trying to work herself back into a position of respect in the community - and what does she get for her trouble? Malaysians insisting she and her skanky ho' costumes be kept out of their country. The Islamic opposition party in the country is worried that if Mariah is allowed to strut about the stage there, the young people of the land will wind up making pisspoor records with Westlife, jiggling about in frankly horrid-looking knitted bikinis, and smashing all the plates in their parent's houses.

Of course, it's a bit of a shame that one of the few American acts prepared to take the huge risks of flying on a aeroplane to anywhere should be told to piss off back home, but that's the reality of the world today, isn't it? Maybe she'll have better luck with her Middle Eastern dates. Although we have a funny feeling there may be problems there, too.
