Kanye West fans might have to pop open a new browser if they're looking to watch his video for 'Monster.' The clip, which leaked to the Internet in December, has been banned by MTV after feminist groups started a petition claiming that the video perpetuates violence against women and glamorizes misogyny.
The controversial visuals, which depict deceased women next to rappers Jay-Z, Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj, is yet to surface as an official version, though it's got feminist bloggers heated. Activists Sharon Haywood and Melinda Tankard Reist spearheaded a petition demanding that Universal Music Group and MTV pull the clip, nabbing over 1,600 signautres via Change.org.
This article was posted on http://www.theboombox.com/2011/03/07/kanye-west-monster-video-banned/ and it bascially says that MTV wants to ban this video for being to violent against women. But the rest of this article states that MTV is not going to ban it inless the BoomBox does not make the proper edits that MTV wants made to let the video be shared on their tv station or website. I think that the video should be banned from MTV if they dont want that kind of violence shown on thier stuff, beacuse they have the right to do that but i dont think it should be banned from everything. If MTV wants it edited and Kanya West wants it on MTV then he should edit it and if he dosent then get rid of it.
wow.. haha
