Is Britney's Criminal Video Too Reminiscent of the Recent Riots?


You may be aware by now that the one and only Miss Britney Spears is on England soil to shoot the music video to her next single, Criminal. However, Britters has been seen wandering the streets of London (well, her music video set) with a prop gun, which Hackney council say is insensitive due to the riots that affected England a few months ago.

Ian Rathbone of Hackney council said, "I think she should apologise and make a sizeable donation to a Hackney charity that deals with young people... for the rudeness and damage she's done to this community."

As disgraceful as we think the riots were, we don't really think a blonde, American pop star had anything to do with them and we're pretty sure the people of London and all those who watch her music video will feel the same way as the council. Luckily, Britney's 'people' weren't scared off and the filming of the video was resumed. There's nothing like a bit of controversy surrounding a music video…now we're anticipating its debut more than ever.
