Controversies
keep
dogging
Rihanna's
S&M
video.
The
promo
of
the
song
created
quite
a
stir
earlier
this
year.
Now,
television
censors
have
said
that
the
video
is
too
racy
to
be
telecast
during
daytime.
The
Wtf
Tv
channel
aired
the
clip
of
the
song,
which
has
semi-naked
Rihanna
suggestively
sucking
a
banana.
Following
a
complaint
from
a
television
viewer
that
the
video
is
not
suitable
for
broadcast
during
daytime,
TV
watchdog
committee
Ofcom
has
ruled
that
the
promo
focused
too
much
on
sex
and
that
it
would
not
be
good
for
children
to
watch
it.
Ofcom
chiefs
are
calling
for
a
meeting
to
discuss
the
policies
on
racy
music
videos.
“We
will...
be
requesting
that
broadcasters
who
transmit
such
programming
attend
a
meeting
at
Ofcom
to
discuss
the
compliance
of
such
material.
(We
will)
shortly
be
issuing
new
guidance
about
the
acceptability
of
material
in
music
videos
broadcast
before
the
watershed," reads
a
statement
from
Ofcom.
