Rihanna's new video classed inappropriate by YouTube
By Sarah Karmali on Thursday 3 February 2011
Rihanna certainly knows how to get people talking... Her latest video for single S&M has just been deemed 'inappropriate' by streaming site YouTube.
REMEMBER WHEN RIHANNA USED TO LOOK LIKE THIS?
Released on Tuesday, the raunchy video sees Ri going all out in suspenders, latex bondage costumes and bunny ears, sharing lesbian kisses and being tied up - while singing the lyrics: 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me.'
One notable scene also shows celebrity blogger Perez Hilton on all fours, being whipped and walked like a dog by Rihanna.
Now YouTube have deemed the video 'inappropriate' due to the levels of nudity and adult images on display, and have implemented a warning which flags up with the single, asking users to sign in and confirm they are over 18.

But despite the warning, the controversial vid has received over 3 million views in the past 3 days.
Watch the video here and decide for yourself. Should it be classified inappropriate? Let us know your thoughts in the comments box below!

not THAT bad... s'pose I wouldn't want my 9 year old to watch it... but I think it's quite cute! Gotta love RiRi! She's such a chameleon.

shes fit

I think it depends on the culture of a nation. In Italy everything is going to be reviewed or denied: here where reality doubled fantasy (and a I don't remind you what's happening...)this video seems to be more than chaste!

No nearly as bad as Lady Gaga's stuff....
Comment by tiggertee on February 03 13:23
How is that really any different to Lady GaGa's bad romance?
It's really not that bad at all - considering the stuff you can watch on youtube without being 18!
Comment by Louise on February 03 13:32
I wouldn't be too happy with my 10 year old daughter watching it but at the end of the day it isn't any worse than some of the things that Madonna did.
Comment by Hazel on February 03 13:39
I suppose she has to do SOMETHING to compensate for such a mediocre song. Pathetic.
Comment by Jay on February 03 13:49
It's art, and it fits the song - I wouldn't want my kid watching it, or indeed listening to the words of the song, but thats where parental responsibility and control comes in. There's nothing overly explicit in it. No nudity that I could see, they're all covered up with their costumes! If it was to be aired on tv, I'd say it should be on after the watershed but if kids have access to roam youtube without their parents knowledge, then I'm sure they could find much worse than this

I think it's quite tame compared to Christina Aguileras song on the x factor.
Comment by Ca on February 03 14:24
Its not that bad, seen worse
Comment by Caroline Thom on February 03 14:45
Please, this is exactly what she wants....
Comment by Danielle on February 03 15:56
Likewise, I don't think it as any worse than Lady Gaga, its more to do with little girls singing along to the lyrics? Still a catchy tune, the girl can do no wrong.
Comment by lorraine on February 03 17:16
Personally, don't think its as bad as they are making out, are we forgetting christina aguilera dirty?? that is far worse, and how about lady gagas videos?!
Comment by Amy on February 03 18:15
Her videos get worse everytime she brings one out, i defo wouldn't let my kids watch it, it's rude and affensive!
Comment by AMY on February 03 18:24
Absolutely hilarious and very clever! Inappropriate for the very young, but it's a song about S&M she was hardly going to be skipping through a field of flowers!!!
Comment by Josie on February 03 19:13
wouldnt want my children to watch it.
i can understand why there is a restriction on the video.
Comment by drew on February 03 19:54
It's made out to really bad and I don't think it is, it Ri doesn't do this some one else will, so what.
Comment by denise bickerton on February 03 21:37
I enjoy watching RiRi,very sexy all the time
Comment by rae on February 03 21:48
I think its pretty good. Dont see anything wrong with it. I dont think younger people should see it but dont see why its being made into such a big thing, singers have made worse videos. And there is worse things to see on the internet now.
Comment by Kirsty on February 03 22:12
I love it! She's made something seemingly dark and forbidden fun, using bright colors.
Comment by AngelB on February 04 09:29
This has gone too far.
Comment by kate on February 04 12:30
there is nothing wrong with it, if you search hard enough on youtube you find full BDSM, this video is soft, it is barely classed as porn. R has certainly done a good job getting media attention though
Comment by anon on February 04 13:05
This got banned? But the thousands of other suggestive and sexualised videos that kids watch everyday with connotations of crime being cool (think gangsta rap etc) are okay?
I don't have an issue with either but if they're going to get all churchy and judgemental on us they might as well censor equally across the board.
Comment by mik on February 04 14:32
I think de video is not suitable for kids.. but it is funny n cute... RiRi is expressin herself in a very diff way.. i guess she is bein artistic in a porny way.. ;p
Comment by RG on February 04 15:51
you've got to love this, its Rihanna all over. The videos wild and she's got style. what else do you people want. yeah it might not be appropriate for people over a certain age, but who cares. Rihanna's an inspiration to alot of people out there.
Comment by Amy on February 04 17:23
I love it, if you dont like it dont watch it simple
Comment by nadia on February 04 23:41
i don't think that this video is that bad !If you are worried about little childern then you are stupid because they don't listen to words of song and until they have any clue about puberity they wont have one clue what she is on about i have scene way worse videos than this on tv before 9:00
Comment by Jane on February 05 00:59
This is clearly a desperate PR ploy, have to hand it to them it's got everyone talking but it's such a cheap tactic!
Comment by Rebecca on February 05 14:41
its a bit hipocritiacl of youtube to class this video as innapropriate when they have the like of gary glitter available to view, a prosucuted child molester
Comment by nickty watterson on February 06 12:13
rihanna go girl,loved the vidio. nothing wrong with it .haters out there pleeease get a grip
Comment by julia on February 06 14:03
i can see why it's inappropiate, i can't believe she's allowed to smoke on camera!! tut tut rhianna.
Comment by Brian on February 08 23:09
There is nothing bad about that video if it was lady gaga they would be find with it so i will have to put the race card out there.
Comment by stacy on February 09 03:24
catchy song but just hate the thought of my little girl singing those lyrics then having to answer her questions about it. think the video goes too far
Comment by cc on February 09 20:05
the song is amazing and the video isnt bad at all! theres nothing bad about it unless you interpret it the wrong way anyway! pussycat
Comment by Emilie on February 14 15:49
What's the fuss about!!
Comment by Stuart Traill on February 18 15:48
I don't think it's all that bad. In fact, Lady GaGa's stuff is way worse. This times that she is engaging in what would be perceived as inappropriate happen so fast. She is so cute in this video. I think the good outweighs the bad or inappropriate!
Comment by Julie on February 24 04:56
she is brill and anyone that says she's not is just plain ass.
