Sean Kingston Faces Protest

Sean Kingston's "Beautiful Girls" faces protest in New Mexico because of it's suicidal message.

Joan Murphy, Chairman of New Mexico's Suicide Prevention Coalition, has demanded that Kingston's song be pulled from the airwaves because of it's message on how to deal with personal problems. She explained that the song would only be increasing the suicidal rate within the country and is portraying suicide as something positive rather than negative.

Regardless of her protest, the song's popularity seems unflattering as it was heavily rotated on the radio stations and topped their music charts. Nonetheless, the Coalition feels the media has to play a role in promoting material that is appropriate for young adults and urges that they take responsibility for censoring what is being fed to the public.
