Rihanna's “S&M” Banned In 11 Countries


Rihanna's new single “S&M” is being deemed too racy for television and radio in 11 countries whose officials have banned it.

The video which features the pop star in latex outfits and “torturing” members of the media debuted Monday, to seemingly little to no controversy in the U.S.

Overseas however, officials are restricting not only the video but the song as well.

Britain's Daily Mirror reports that the promo for S&M has been banned in 11 countries, and BBC bosses in the U.K. have banned DJs at Radio 1 from playing it before 7 p.m.

A BBC spokesman tells the publication,

"We are waiting for an edited version before deciding whether it will be played in the daytime."

    They want an edited version of the song? It's actually a clean song, just dirty content. If you edit the song, you may as well change the title and the background music too because it would be a completely different song.
