Madonna’s steamy new video for "Girl Gone Wild" has been banned from open view on "YouTube" for being too raunchy, with scenes including nudity and a close-up of a man’s PVC-clad crotch.
"YouTube" chiefs have restricted the video to those 18 years or over, and sources tell us they’ve told the superstar’s management that, if they want it to be available for viewing by all, they must edit out shots of bare bottoms, a man rubbing his crotch and an implied masturbation scene, where a man gyrates before a mirror.
A source told us:
"YouTube has decided the video is too raunchy and should only be viewed by those 18 or over, and actually, the video is hard to find on the site. 'YouTube' has sent Madonna’s team a list of shots that should be cut to make it appropriate for everyone."
Fashion photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott directed "Girl Gone Wild", using much of the singer’s trademark erotic imagery, including topless men dancing in black tights (mantyhose) and platform heels.
"YouTube" also took exception to an S&M-inspired scene of a silhouette in chains.
The video was deemed "inappropriate for some users" by "YouTube", and viewers must verify they’re 18 or older and log in to watch it.
A rep for "YouTube" told us:
"While we don’t comment on individual videos, we review all videos flagged by our users against our community guidelines. In some cases we agerestrict flagged material that, while not in violation of those guidelines, contains images that may be unsuitable for younger users."
Madonna’s rep, Liz Rosenberg, told us:
"Some things never change. This is a throwback to [1990] when 'MTV' refused to show 'Justify My Love'."
