Jonathan King Jailed For Sex Offences: 'Get Perverts Out Of Pop' Say Young, Semi-Naked Pop Stars

The conviction of record producer and TV presenter Jonathan King for sexual
offences against young boys has prompted a group of young, partially clothed
pop stars to launch a campaign to 'kick perverts out of pop.'

"We want to clean up the industry once and for all," said campaign spokesman
Adam Rickett. He then took off his shirt and asked an assembled group of
young fans if they wanted to 'get it on' with him.

The campaign aims to rid the pop industry of its reputation for sexually
exploiting young people.

"We are against dirty, old men seeing young people as sexual objects," said
Hannah from S Club 7, dressed in a bikini. "We all think it's disgusting and
we're here to do something about it."
 

Hannah: Disgusted
 

The campaign has also gained support from Britney Spears. Addressing
reporters via satellite link, Spears, dressed in a school uniform, called for "zero
tolerance of nasty guys who wanna do nasty things to young kids. It's, like,
totally unacceptable."

A special awareness-raising concert is expected to be held early next year with
a possible guest appearance by Michael Jackson, another keen supporter of
the campaign:

"We must protect young kids," he told reporters. "I love protecting young kids.
I would protect them all day, every day, if I could."

Bill Wyman was unavailable for comment.
