“It crossed the line. I
know the Spice Girls are supposed to be a bit controversial but this is
a family show,” The Sun quoted a parent as saying.
“It should come with a warning if that sort of language is
going to be used. I wanted to walk out but that would have upset my
kids."
“It would have also made her comments an even bigger deal, and
my kids would have become more likely to repeat them in the playground
knowing how rude they were,” the parent added.
I would have walked out and explained to my kids WHY we walked out. The Spice Girls KNOW there are kids in the audience and Mel herself is a mother.
I never understood the appeal of The Spice Girls, and this only reinforces my dislike for the band. Perhaps the word Spice could be replaced by Smut, or Sleaze, or Disgusting Talentless Rubbish. Just a thought.
