They won't feel the need to get bogged down with detail or facts. Don't worry, I am usually wrong about everything.

The Daily Mail love their long headlines!

Let's face it, it'd do wonders for the film's promo campaign!

Why are they making such a big deal out of a karaoke contest? I get that the person who won it was a bit of a controversial choice but even so it seems weird that there are so many articles about something so unimportant

But because of all the movements this boy did (that comes in there...) I don't think, that he is so unaware.

 

Well if he's vaguely aware of the connotations of the song, then what exactly is wrong with him singing it?! The song is hilariously inappropriate for a 9 year old to sing, but the only ethical issue I see is if his parents made him sing it, with him having no understanding of what the song meant, just in an attempt to shock other adults or cause them to laugh at him.

Ultimately it's just really silly, and we shouldn't moralise about something just because it somehow feels uncomfortable or incongruous. What are the practical detrimental affects of him singing This Is Hardcore? Apart from acute embarrassment when he's a bit older, pretty much none whatsoever. I'm reminded of that bit in Little Miss Sunshine where she does the beauty pageant thing, and all the other girls are dressed in skimpy clothes and make up, while the lead character actually does a ridiculous 'sexy dance' which shocks the other children and parents, despite being no more sexualised than all the other 8 year olds dressed like 18 year olds.

I remember when I was 9 everyone at school singing The Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang, about "doing it like they do on the discovery channel" and "put your hands down my pants and I bet you'll feel nuts" etc. Which in a way is 'worse' if we're gonna put value judgements on this, as that is just a crass and misogynistic song about sex, whereas This Is Hardcore is a very intelligent song which uses sex as an extended metaphor, and I'd say that TIHs utter bleakness is the most troubling aspect in terms of a child singing it, rather than its sexual content.

Yes, the video is very very cringeworthy, but I think we may be confusing our own embarrassment for something which is 'morally' wrong.

Has anyone posted about the new postings for the American screenings? It doesn't show on the list on the website but a theater in Pittsburgh is screening the film!!! I've still got to reserve my tickets (though I'm not exactly worried about it selling out in this town...)

 Great to hear the film is making inroads over there. Enjoy!
