Britney Spears Causes Glee A Headache

Britney Spears's appearance in hit TV show Glee triggered indecency complaints from viewers who branded the episode "extremely inappropriate" and "sexually provocative".

The pop superstar made a cameo appearance in the musical in an episode which aired in the U.S. in September, and newly released documents from America's Federal Communications Commission reveal the programme attracted a series of grievances about the "sexual" nature of some of the scenes.

One of the letters processed by the watchdog, obtained by Thesmokinggun.com, brands the episode "obscene and indecent", while another slams the nudity and the highly sexual content of the show, calling the episode "extremely inappropriate and sexually provocative".

A number of the complaints call for schedulers to move the series to a post-watershed slot to keep the saucy scenes from kids.
