I was so happy when I read about the "wardrobe warning" issued by CBS for the 55th Annual Grammy Awards the other day. I said to myself, "finally, someone seems to notice the rate at which these celebrities expose their bodies to the whole world" but then, I went on to read people's comments on the news and my heart sank. In a bid to convince myself that things can't be that bad, I went on to search the internet, just to read what people had to say about the warning. Your guess is as good as mine, by the time I was done reading different analysis and comments as regards the warning, I was completely lost for words.
If you remember, not too long ago, I wrote about the way people act as if their dress sense is more important than their character (Read it here if your missed it), the way a lot of people reacted over the internet as regards the CBS warning proved the point that quite a lot of people really do think that "indecent dressing" is not a burning issue that needs to be addressed. Someone even interpreted the warning to mean that CBS wanted the celebrities to dress as nuns. I know we all are entitled to our opinions but isn't the Grammy Awards meant for the recognition of musical achievements? Why does it have to be a celebration of near nudity?
