Madonna, 'Girl Gone Wild': YouTube Calls Video 'Raunchy,' Imposes Age Restriction

A few days ago, Madonna debuted her super sexed-up 'Girl Gone Wild' video, a black-and-white throwback to her most provocative '90s performances. With its homoerotic imagery and depictions of S&M, the clip was bound to cause some controversy, and sure enough, YouTube has blocked underage users from partaking in the kinky goodness, the New York Post reports.

"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," a source told the paper. "YouTube has sent Madonna's team a list of shots that should be cut to make it appropriate for everyone."

In particular, the site's arbiters of decency would like Madge's people to edit scenes involving naked buttocks, a man rubbing his nether regions and a guy grating in front of a mirror. Oh, and if they could cut out that silhouetted woman writhing in chains, that would be great, too.

"While we don't comment on individual videos, we review all videos flagged by our users against our community guidelines," the source added. "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 team is reportedly working on a cleaner version, and once it goes live, the ever-cunning pop star will have pulled off quite a coup. She'll get to play the unfairly censored artiste while earning tons of publicity and still exposing millions of Americans to shots of grown men dancing in tights and high heels. Win-win-win for the Queen of Pop.

Does she want her daughter tied up with chains and having sex with multiple men at one time? Obviously, she is not concerned about making it look okay for other people's children. Obviously, she could care less about HIV. No matter how old some people get, they never mature and learn to do what is right. Her talk and walk are two different things. She is a hypocrite and a prostitute - selling sex for money.

Tech-wise, it's a really great clip, but this one's definitely not for teens & tweens - one loin cloth away from an arthouse filmshort.

Madonna has always been weird look at he choice of names ( Blessed mother & child) I can't see why the Catholic Church didn't stone her or at least excommunicate her. I don't believe her I thank it's all Pliability BS and nothing else.

I wish they had blocked it from ME. Even in her advanced years Madonna still can't think of any other way to entertain besides "shocking" people with disgusting imagery.

She's beautiful. Not a fan of all of her stuff-but she seems to be timeless.

"Good Taste" restrictions should also be imposed. Give it up Madonna, you're over the hill
