Rihanna Performance Infuriate Parents Group

Angry activists at a parents group have slammed Britney Spears and Rihanna for their sleazy on-stage performance at the recent Billboard Music Awards.

Spears, 29, who teamed up to duet on Rihanna's S&M track at the Vegas ceremony, was shown pole-dancing onstage in matching leather bodices with their hands clamped with handcuffs. The duo also performed an onstage kiss.

The risque performance was broadcast on a channel at primetime, infuriating officials at the Parents Television Council (Ptc), who has termed it as a "profanity-laced sex show", reported Femalefirst.

"The song title alone reeks of the adult entertainment industry and last night's performance wasn't far from it. What happened in Vegas should have stayed in Vegas, as the saying goes. It certainly has no place at 8pm on the publicly-owned broadcast airwaves."I cannot imagine what would possibly lead the Abc television network to air a profanity-laced, S&M sex show on primetime broadcast television," read a statement from Ptc President Tim Winter.
