‘Dirrty’ Controversy Over Derogatory Thai Phrase

According to a posting at the Christina Aguilera forum at LiveDaily.com, the singer’s new video for ‘Dirrty’ has left some in Thailand upset over a phrase that appears in the background of the clip saying, “Sex Tour in Thailand.” Bangkok resident randy_1 said, “That sentence degenerates my country. I know that there are a lot of Thai(‘that kind of women’) around the world and also in Thailand. My country is Buddism-Nation. No sex cable TV, All clubs must close before 2.00am, adult entertainment (movies, mags) are illegal.” Because of the controversy, the poster said, “People who ain’t her fan is not going to buy her cd. And there is no chance that Christina will have a show in Thailand.”
