The Cribs new video has been banned because it's "too shocking" to be screened before the 9PM watershed, according to the TV regulator. The bit where the naked girl cuts the singer's head off caused offence, apparently. We asked The Cribs what they thought about the decision.So, what happened with MTV and the "Men's Needs" video?
I just got an email this morning informing me of the fact it was banned. It's insane. Apparently they got one complaint. ONE FUCKING COMPLAINT. I just don't get people sometimes. Have you even seen it? We did it really tacky on purpose. No one could possibly think that was realistic. The person that complained was either like some super conservative angry person or just some snake in the grass industry insider.OK. Who is the hot naked girl?
She was some model from LA. We'd never met her before the shoot.Was she always meant to be naked or did you just add that idea in when you saw how hot she was?
No, she was always gonna be naked. She's all over us but we don't care so she goes to extremes to get our attention - like chopping her arm off. The original version had the girl totally naked, but the one we sent to MTV had black bars … so the ban was just down to the violence. Sex is fine but no violence. Bullshit mate.* Read an interview with The CribsDigg it | Del.icio.us | Technorati
