Preserving Icons

Severina Vučković (Severina Vuckovic), queen of Croatian popular music, has apparently taken noble example of Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton and had her most intimate moments recorded on tape. The tape somehow ended in the hands of people who maintain index.hr site and they published few still images only to remove them after few hours.

The images weren't on-line for long and they didn't contain particularly saucy content (except in the context), but the outrage was swift. Public condemnations were joined by Božo Biškupić (Bozo Biskupic), Croatian minister of culture.

Needless to say, with or without bans or outrage, Severina sex video is going to major underground attraction of Croatian cyberspace.

But it is still nice to see government officials expressing their concern for the dignity of Croatian cultural icons.
