MTV has deemed it inappropriate for its viewers to watch Lady Gaga’s “Telephone“ video, so the music channel is banning the provocative and controversial mini movie-cum-music video. Other networks are expected to follow MTV’s lead, but the millions of people who have seen the video on YouTube do not seem to mind.

The controversial video has riled the sensitivities of some people for its raunchy content, which includes lesbian kissing and a lot of boobs, not to mention parental-advisory-worthy lines. The video has received over 14 million hits just three days since its debut. “Telephone” opens with a bra-less Lady Gaga being escorted to her jail cell by two bra-flashing guards, as female inmates salivate at the new jailbird.

Gaga is then stripped to her undies, prompting someone to quip: “I told you she didn’t have a d—.” Lady Gaga is rumored to have been born a hermaphrodite. The video also features Beyonce, who also shows a lot of skin, and is directed by Jonas Akerlund. “Telephone” is the second collaboration between Lady Gaga and Akerlund after their highly successful “Paparazzi.”

Welp, looks like MTV banned the video.

Lenny Kravitz helped Madonna write and produce this sultry song, where Madonna whispers most of the lyrics. It was the first single from her highly-anticipated Immaculate Collection compilation album, and created plenty of sales-generating controversy for the singer, who was known for pushing the limits of sexual content.

Ingrid Chavez, a singer who had worked with Prince, sued for royalties from this, claiming she wrote it with Kravitz. It was settled out of court and Chavez got a composer credit along with Kravitz and Madonna.

This samples a beat from a Public Enemy song called "Security Of The First World," an instrumental from their album It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back. Public Enemy used many samples themselves, so they didn't sue Madonna or Kravitz. Public Enemy's producer, Hank Shocklee, capitalized on the publicity by having a group called the Young Black Teenagers record an answer song using the same beat called "To My Donna."

The video contained partial nudity. MTV banned it, but eventually agreed to play it late at night. With the controversy brewing over the video, ABC aired it on Nightline, with anchor Forrest Sawyer asking Madonna questions about the video as it ran. It was unusual for an entertainment story to be the focus of Nightline, but this raised censorship issues. It also didn't hurt that Madonna was a huge star and was sure to draw lots of viewers.

While the video played, Madonna talked about how women in her videos are always in control sexually.

The video was parodied on an episode of Saturday Night Live that Madonna guest hosted. In a Wayne's World skit, Garth appears as one of the dancers.
This was one of 2 new songs released on Madonna's Greatest Hits album Immaculate Collection. The other was "Rescue Me."

After this was banned by MTV, it was released for sale as a video. Aided by the controversy, it eventually sold over 1 million copies.

The video was shot at a Paris hotel. It featured Madonna's boyfriend at the time, Tony Ward.

The video also features Beyonce, who also shows a lot of skin

Welp, looks like MTV banned the video.

I don't see Janet when I look at Pink's videos either.

Yeah but that's just from performances, she just never did it with videos or with song material. Just performances.

In the wake of reports that surfaced over the weekend claiming that MTV had banned Lady Gaga's nearly 10-minute-long video for "Telephone," a spokesperson for the channel clarified the situation on Monday (March 15).


"MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé's 'Telephone' video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported," said MTV Executive Vice President of Music and Talent Amy Doyle. "Fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online." Music videos generally air on MTV weekdays between 3 a.m. and 10 a.m.

The rumor appears to have begun with a segment that aired on CNN on Sunday in which reporters Fredricka Whitfield and Jacqui Jeras discuss the video — which at press time has been viewed more than 14 million times on YouTube since its release late Thursday — and say that MTV had banned the clip. The CNN segment has circulated widely on the Internet, but does not currently appear to be on the CNN site; it can be viewed on MediaIte.com.

"It's so strong, so suggestive, so sexual, so violent as well, that MTV has said, 'We're not even going to air this, so it has banned the airing of this video,' " Whitfield said, without citing a source. At press time, a spokesperson for CNN had not responded to MTV News' requests for comment.

The "Telephone" video went live on MTV.com at 12:30 a.m. on Friday, an hour after it premiered on E!, and began airing on MTV that morning at 9:30 a.m. as part of the "Lady Gaga Artist Collection," which ended with a full-length airing of the video, a spokesperson for the channel said.

The epic, Jonas Εkerlund-directed "Telephone" clip, already a fan favorite, stars Gaga and Beyoncé and includes a head-spinning array of pop-culture references, ranging from the obvious ("Thelma and Louise," Tarantino films) to the not-as-obvious ("Dune"). Jai Rodriguez, who plays a reporter in the video, said Gaga and Beyoncé were both "epic" and focused during the shoot. Of the clip, Gaga has said she's "always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be."

False alarm. MTV did NOT ban the video

My only shock is "MTV still play videos?" I saw it on YouTube. MTV is dead.

This video left me wondering if Bey has a big ole donger.
