February 2nd, 2011 - 9:11 pm ICT by GDBy Madhuri Dey
Feb 2, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The latest video of pop star Rihanna’s single “S&M” where the 22 year old singer is clad only in latex showing herself almost semi-nude has attracted the attention of the watchdogs. The video has already been banned in 11 countries and has raised questions about the nudity that the singer is seen boasting in her latest single. The video has become all the more controversial for not only does it features the pop sensation’s transparency but also has some hard hitting lyrics.
Rihanna has steamed up the video thoroughly by crooning to some raunchy lyrics where everything is sex-oriented, hoping to give some extra jig to her fans. Now this has landed the singer in the middle of several controversies for the authorities have labeled the viewing of the video by people of a specific age as in-appropriate. The posting of the video on YouTube had initially irked the authorities who now are fuming after the singer added to their anger by posting the video to her personal website so that fans can enjoy them fully uncensored.
No matter how much the video continues to stir a furore with the authorities, the singer has refuted back saying that the whole debate makes no sense since earlier she had appeared full nude for her “Umbrella” video. She argues that if fans could watch her completely nude in that one then authorities should have no problem with “S&M”. Fans, however, need not worry since the singer has ensured that all you get to witness the excitement of “S&M” by visiting her own website where there is no barring from watching Rihanna draped in latex and tying a guy to bed!
