The Cribs’ most recent video, “Men’s Needs” has been banned from television in London. Not because of the very-hot model from LA being completely naked (there are 2 versions of the video, the one with the black bars for privacy that they sent to MTV, and a “dirty” one which has full exposure). No, the video was banned because of ONE single complaint about the violence portrayed. It’s not so gory, really, it is intended to be farcical, but the previously mentioned hot model gal is mutilating herself to get the band’s attention. They ignore her, she cuts her arm off. While naked. The noir in you is curious, admit it.
