Yahoo Plus! (Premium) highlights Cinnamon Girl controversy

Yahoo! Plus (the premium version of Yahoo services, but I belive the same content is featured for Yahoo!-SBC DSL customers), today is highlighting the Cinnamon Girl video controversy, with a link to view the video at LAUNCH, and to the AP article (see earlier feature...)

cool, anyone know how this is affecting sales, actually ill just check hits daily doubles...well hes not in the top 50 so far!

would be nice to see at least a steadying of sales, keeping in the 7k region, which is pretty good for an album with one top 100 hit (after 6 months)

Yes, how is it affecting sales?
Is it true that this clip was censored on TV, or there were just rumours?
Glad to see Prince receiving some media attention in the politicial/social area. It shows the general public that he is not just a ´partyman pop star´.
How cool it would be a clip for ´Dear Mr Man´, huh? smile

It's on MSN's homepage as well, but it was more prominent when it was on last week. I also heard a segment on the pop radio station I have on in my car about how "controversal" the video is. The radio segment was about a minute long. Said MTV is going to add the video to their rotation next week, but might not add it at all because it's so controversal. It ended by plugging the NPGMC giving the web addy and saying you can view the video there.
I'm firmly planted in denial

From MSN:

"Seeds of controversy are already beginning to grow, even though the video — the first from Prince's new "Musicology" — will not begin running on MTV until next week."

Dear editor. Please do your homework next time. "Musicology" was the first video from the "new" CD. typing

That would be great. Dear Mr Man is a much better song than Cinnamon Girl
and could use an equally good video too. One can only dream smile

They talked about it on the Today show this morning as well (in conjunction with Eminem's new video that makes fun of MJ).
