Music video regulations.
the BBFC (British Board of Film) classification systems sets the standards for music videos with explicit contents.
Throughout the years, many music videos have been blocked on sites such as Youtube, for inappropriate scenes which would be unsuitable for younger viewers who are harmlessly searching the web for their music idols.
Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' has been banned from being played in certain universities, such as Edinburgh, Leeds, Derby, and West Scotland, on the grounds of the song promoting sexism, and the song objectifies women.
Ciara 'Ride It' Bet refused to air the music video due to the explicit contents, with fans even starting a petition to get the video back online, BET asked Ciara to reedit some of the clips which were unsuitable.
