Rihanna’s ‘Disturbia’: too disturbing?

Posted on September 8, 2008 · in Kinky Video Clips, Music videos

I was watching a music video channel recently, and they were doing a chart countdown.

When the time came to play “Disturbia” by Rihanna, the VJ said something along the lines of “we were asked not to show this video, because it contains disturbing imagery”.

I’ve since seen the video on the same chanel, so whatever the objection was, they must have talked it through with their shrink, and realised it was OK, or something.  I still have no idea what exactly there is in the video that freaked out the TV people.

Any ideas, munchkins?

P.S. Zille Defeu has a pretty screenshot from the vid, with Rihanna all chained up. Mmm.

    Disturbing? For who? The readers of the Daily Mail, perhaps?

    I think it means “we want to create fake controversy to bolster our marketing strategy”.

    Could be something to do with her horny chair :-)
    As much as the banning of the video trips the anti kink alarm buttons, I have a sneaking suspicion that the banning is related to her having a quick drag on a cigarette.

    Fantastic! I am a big fan of hers anyway and have all of her music and play it most days but I can’t see anything disturbing in this at all, apart from the fact she always looks so damm hot!.

    Disturbia is a breakthrough song with the highest possible commercial appeal. On most “CHR” stations in the US, it’s in a twice an hour rotation along with other ear candy such as Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl.” Nothing disturbing about a song so energizing, along with her alluring video performance!
