Yes, Please Cover It Up

Beyonce is the latest performer to be asked by Malaysia to keep her ass covered and tone her show down. Most recently Gwen Stefani had to completely re-vamp her wardrobe in order to perform in the country and not face fines or death. Ok, just fines not death, but I thought death sounded good.
Beyonce's concert organizer, Pineapple Concerts (I like that name, they'd be my organizers if I had a concert) said, "Beyonce won't be able to do the kind of show here that she does elsewhere. It's a pity to restrict her because her costumes are all tasteful and glamorous."
Last year The Pussycat Dolls were fined $4,400 for ignoring decency laws. That's it?! They should've been thrown into whore slavery.
The country's guidelines state that female artists must cover up from their chest to their knees including shoulders. Even though Gwen Stefani did this, they still weren't happy.
"Outside, she still wears sexy clothes and influences teenagers who idolise her. It's bad to have immoral artists visiting Malaysia."
Xtina decided to skip the country on her tour of Asia, because she couldn't tone down her slutiness.
