Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears music videos banned in France

Over the years music has promptly switched and taken a turn in the way it depicts people and what it stands for giving musicians an element of freedom in their pursuit of delivering to fans what they believe is worthy and enjoyable but what happens when that ‘freedom’ crosses the boundaries? Well, you can ask Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus since their music videos have been banned in France.

According to news sources ,French broadcast watchdog Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel (CSA) has determined that Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" and Britney Spears' "Work B-tch" videos are not suitable for daytime television.

The music videos may now only be shown after 10 p.m, a time when more adult-appropriate content sneaks onto the screen.

CSA said that Cyrus' naked construction swings are too sexually explicit, and that Spears' bondage in the video depicts "a sadomachistic universe representing women in a way that risks shocking many viewers."
