Is Brit’s “Circus” Too Sexy?

Some parents who have taken their kids to shows on Britney Spears’ “Circus” tour think it should be rated R—or at least PG—due to the skimpy costumes and sexual content.

MTV.com spoke to some parents at the Pittsburgh show and got varying opinions. Mother of four Amy Dunn was freaked out by the “Freakshow” segment of the concert, which shows  Britney gettin’ nasty with her male dancers to songs like “Get Naked” and “Touch of My Hand,” while wearing nearly-see-through bodysuits. Dunn said, “Two of the numbers, where Britney had twirly things and tassels, weren’t very flattering and too much for the kids. It was a little R-rated for this venue.”

Mom-of-teens Leslie Mossesso said, “I think it was decent for the age we brought, but I wouldn’t go under sixth grade. It was a little risqué, but good. I’ve seen worse.”

So are performers supposed to clean up their shows so that they’re “safe” for all audiences, or should nervous parents confine their kids’ concert-going to Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers?
