Has anyone watched the video for "Tunnel Vision"? You Tube pulled it, but then put it back and you have to verify that you are of age to watch it. I just did, because I was like, "How bad can it be? Nip slip, maybe?" Uh, no. Full on female nudity, with just a tiny nude-colored pair of undies. Like, naked women writhing around, full on boobs.
I DO think that America is too uptight about nudity, but I just feel like something like this for a music video is so gratuitous. Also? Robin Thicke had his last video pulled yet Justin Timberlake gets a 'pass' with an explicit warning on it. Huh?
Of course is gratuitous, videos don't NEED nudity for story purposes. But nudity =/= porn. Americans are a little uptight about this.
No, I don't think it's the same as porn. I guess when I think that Americans need to lighten up, I think of things like topless beaches and I suppose some breastfeeding in public controversy falls in there.
