Tatu: The More They Forbid Us, The Stronger We Get! (KM.Ru - Russia)Time of publication: 16.02.2003 |
The simplest way was to get popular in the Western Puritan community – take off your pants in a public place, and wait for the journalists and police to arrive. People always want that little "fruit", which is forbidden. Larry Flint proved this brilliantly with his porno-magazine "Hustler", which was forbidden and scandalous.
Scandal always attracts the attention of the public. So, the formula for success is: after reaching a small scale success, fight for the prohibition and scandals for yourself. This is exactly what our fatherland producer, of world-class mega stars, duo Tatu has done.
As it is known, pedophilia is like a bite of sweet, forbidden fruit to any Western man. Being accused, and even more, banned for this, is what every advertiser would call "the best marketing act".
The BBC, one among many others, banned Julia and Lena's clip "All The Thing She Said", announcing that the video is a bit too personal for their viewers. The only thing Tatu's producer did, is applaud the TV Channels and Radio Stations for banning Tatu, which dramatically increased the album sales of his group; which he, without any doubt, did.
Ivan Shapovalov personally thanked "everyone in the UK" and hoped for even more bans, to increase the album sales.
