A Madonna campaign just wouldn’t be right without a little controversy.
For, after releasing the well received clip that is ‘Girl Gone Wild‘ last week, it has been restricted by YouTube, deemed too raunchy to be seen by the masses.
Details below…
According to the New York Post, YouTube viewers who wish to watch the clip must now verify they are over 18 before they are allowed to watch it.
They explain:
YouTube chiefs have restricted the video for those 18 years or above, and sources tell us they’ve told the superstar’s management that if they want it to be available for viewing by all, they must edit out shots of bare bottoms, a man rubbing his crotch and an implied masturbation scene where a man gyrates before a mirror.
Sure to generate a buzz for the commercially ill fated ‘MDNA’, the video’s restriction forced the icon’s publicist to respond with:
Some things never change. This is a throwback to [1990] when MTV refused to show ‘Justify My Love’.
As of now, Camp Ciccone are said to be editing out any ‘questionable’ scenes from the video, readying a ‘PG’ version of the clip for YouTube ahead of her LP’s March 26th release.
Is anyone surprised by this?
f****** kidding me…but lady gaga’s you and I..or the marry the night, u dont have to sign in..and shes f****** naked throughout that video..like the f***..youtube is so dumb.
‘CAUSE GRANDONNA’S VID IS ABOUT BUNCH OF GAY GUYS GETTING IT ON WITH BISEXUAL GRANNY, THAT’S WHY…
“commercially ill fated ‘MDNA’
LOL! No.1 in more than 50 countries on iTunes and you call it a flop!! It’s not even released yet!
Are you trying to make your blog less credible? You’ve already called A Keys’ album boring, Xtina plus sized and GaGa devilish and now Madonna’s album is ill fated…Yes, I can’t see it doing Adele numbers, but ill fated?? Seriously?
grandMADONNA sucks.. period.
Poor FossilDonna, youtube won’t let her be great
Thats good. Kids shouldnt see this bc it promotes them to experiement and turn against man and woman.
I dont hate gays but they wouldnt be here if they parents were, so.
kudos to youtube.
Yeah. They also banned Britney’s Womanizer vid, but it was unbanned.
Who cares? The video sucks, and is a complete rehash of other past Madonna videos. It’s not gonna hurt her nonetheless.
Its not really banned , just restricted. And I can understand why they would want to restrict it. Its very very very suggestive. She did what she always does, and this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to her. She’ll be just fine. Not many youngins are listening to madonna anyway.
My only prob is that at 50 and a mother, and probably a grandmother in a few more years, doesn’t she want to tone it down a little bit…. I mean not completely, but def not doing what she did in her 20’s and 30’s.
Anywho, i like the video and Im over 18, so I will be watching it again….lol
sluuut
Oh please the one video from Madonna’s new CD that I actually like and its banned? Why… oh right men are wearing tights and high heels oh yeah and eattng from the same apple! OH PLEASE they let “Stupid H**” run unrestricted but not GGW?
a throwback to [1990], this is Madonna being Madonna (Autoplagiarism), this always happen to her, i mean the Justify My Love is the best selling Music video of all times so this is not gonna hurt her.
Universally ban should be legally ruled on all Mandonna’s stuff !
No not for gay or penis content but for unbearable insult to any creatures’ ears and eyes!
But this is just a lame publicity stunt ….as yawn always.
P.S. Thou I like gay and penis I will NOT watch ….as in not interested!
@12345, so because im gay, i have my mum and dad to blame?? Imagine.
^^what? I dont mean that at all.
It has nothign to do with your parents at all.
what im saying is how gay people always complain and wanna be seen as normal but they wouldnt be if they parents were gay, so just chilld and dont cry.
ure obviously not gay bc of your parents unless they put u in skirts lol just kidding
@12345, youre not makin any sense to me at all.
Madonna’s too old for this mess. She needs to go and sit down somewhere. SMH. I can understand her doing this type of stuff when she was in her 20’s and possibly in her 30’s. But, she’s in her 50’s now. Nobody wants to see the excessive sexual content coming from a woman in her 50’s . Besides, she an established artist, so there’s no need for her to continue going this route. It’s not necessary. If anything, it reeks of desperation in my opinion.
Homophobic much?
I’ve seen far worse not restricted on youtube, but then again, those vids didn’t include gays in heels …
A Madonna campaign just wouldn’t be right without a little MANUFACTURED controversy – this would be a more accurate statement. Please, its getting old now Madge, younger artists like Gaga and Nicki Minaj are carrying on the tradition better than you are with this video of pseuso shock content – yawn. She couldn’t leave out the wall dancing etiher, another thing that is getting really old in her videos. The video is better than the song, to be fair, but that isn’t saying much unfortunately ;o)
sorry , but this got me ROTFL :
YouTube chiefs have restricted the video for those 18 years or above, and sources tell us they’ve told the superstar’s management that if they want it to be available for viewing by all, they must edit out shots of bare bottoms, a man rubbing his crotch and an implied m*********** scene where a man gyrates before a mirror.
so they banned it cuz it was full of gayness and men who are not particularly men ?!!
OH well …. 🙄
every b**** in here will know why i’m happy of course 😆 😆
MADE me DAY despite my love for Madonna 😆 😆 , this should make her learn her lesson.
Do NOT ignore your NON-gay audience ” including kids , teenagers , STRAIGHT d**** ” for your gay Fans. K madonna ?!
Can’t stop laughing seriously :lo:l 😆 😆 😆 😆

They also restricted Katy Perry’s “I KISSED A GIRL”… and it doesn’t even show any nudity of any kind. Kinda silly, if you ask me.
