World Slowly Descends Into Thick Sea Of Idiocy: Developing

The New
York Times is reporting in this article about a memo circulated around MTV
Europe about censoring any music or videos that could be
"sensitive" in this time of War. Manager Mark Sunderland recommends
that music videos depicting "war, soldiers, war planes, bombs, missiles,
riots and social unrest, executions" and "other obviously sensitive
material" not be shown on MTV in Britain
and elsewhere in Europe until further notice.

Among the things being censored are System Of A Down's "Boom!," Billy
Idol's "Hot in the City," Iggy Pop's "Corruption," Radiohead's "Lucky" and
(hilariously) anything by the B-52's. Check the article for the full scoop.
Equally ridiculous, BBC Radio 1 recently removed the song
"Bandages" by British Colombia's Hot Hot
Heat from its playlist for "fearing that the repetition of the word "bandages" in the song may upset some listeners."UPDATE: You can read the full text of the memo >here. Thanks to FAKESMILE for the link.
