Song of the Week #5

Censorship in music has been a topic for a very long time and many videos over the years have been banned, censored, or had to be changed.

Let me know what you think of this one (you may have to sign in and verify your age with this one):

I don't know about you, but I don't feel that this is that bad. I have seen MUCH worse things portrayed in rap videos and dance videos, like look at this latest video from Enrique Iglesias:

I think this video is dirtier than the Rihanna song! There is more nudity and portrayal of sex in Enrique's video AND the song is clearly about just having sex!

Maybe it's because Rihanna's song is about a different kind of sexuality...

I seriously don't get the western culture's views on sex and sexuality. We are so afraid of the naked body and what we do with it when in reality, even the things that are perceived as abnormal in society's eyes are problem closer to normal behind closed doors than we really think!

Let me know what YOU think!
