I didn't mention the American Public, I said English speaking public, what I meant by that is the public that don't like or know anything outside their frame of reference (some people call them members of the Tory party
). These are not the people who here a song they like and go on to explore Donde Estan Los Ladrones, and Pies Descalzos. And I wouldn't call crawling in the mud "sexing" ones self, she wasn't exactly naked, touching herself or doing anything that dancers don't do on stage. Even my dirty mind that constantly lives in the gutter didn't see anything sexual about playing in the mud (and what with the ocean, mountains, and horses, getting down to the nice muddy earth doesn't seem that unusual). While I do admit that Suerte was used as a marketing tool, I wouldn't say that Shakira has marketed herself as a "hip shaker", just look at the first single from volume 2, and how the album was recieved before HDL was recorded.
And what outrageous things has Shakira done lately?
