TV Peeping Tom
Sir,—Shown on television about 5 p.m. last Wednesday was a film clip of a Rod Stewart song entitled “Infatuation.” It portrays a young woman undressing in her home, unaware that she is being observed by a lecherous Rod Stewart, who, with binoculars and camera in hand, gyrates suggestively at his window-sill. At his side, his cat hungrily eyes the goldfish bowl and the victims swimming innocently therein. This film clip holds sickening innuendos of rape and perversion. It is an insult to women. Sexism breeds rape. We do not need the lurid thoughts of rock stars depicted in living colour to tempt rape on its ugly path in this country. — Yours, etc.,
G. AITKEN. June 21, 1984.
