to be censored down to this

when videos like dirrrty with all its assless chaps glory is fine? and even the first one which is like the director's cut or something had to be censored! there's no way they'll play the second one either so it's more censoring. wha

WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

cry me a fucking river already.

first off i hate that bald 'comedian' / dj guy so the video was already losing me from the get go. overtly sexual content has always been censored from the tv and will probably always will be - DEAL WITH IT. if you're honestly expecting MTV in the states to play this video at anytime besides 3 in the morning you're a retard. it's less of a matter of censorship (in which case neither video would exist to be broadcast or distributed through public means like the internet) and a lot more about playing within the clearly defined regulations. drrrty gets airplay because, while they rub their asses all over the line, they never cross that line.

there is no way anyone in the strokes (or associated with them) wanted this video to be played on MTV or other mainstream media outlets.

This video wasn't meant to be played on MTV or on pretty much any TV station in the world. It was meant for one thing, and one thing only, getting attention through controvesey.

This is strictly out of the "Any publicity is good publicity" school of thought.

It's not even a good video and forget the song.
