MTV Not Playing Kanye's "Monster" Video

Sunday, March 6, 20110 comments

Really Yeezy, Can you please make a video that I can watch? First i had to wonder if imma have a seizure from the "All Of The Lights" video, now I can't even watch the "Monster" video because its banned from MTV

@KanyeWest is under fire for one of his videos again as petitioners have sought to have the clip for his mega-collabo ‘Monster’ banned from airing on the network. Activists Sharon Haywood and Melinda Tankard Reist created a petition asking MTV and Universal Music Group to pull the offensive and misogynistic video. MTV recently responded to the over 1,600 Change.org members who signed their petition, agreeing not to air ‘Monster’:

“The mainstreaming of videos like this increases desensitized and callous attitudes toward violence against women,” said Reist, one of the campaign originators.

“Young people are seeing images and absorbing harmful messages which glamorise misogyny and brutalise women. Women are reduced to sex-doll like playthings. So great is the level of desensitization that the barbaric treatment of women and girls is seen as normal and to be expected.

We decided to run this campaign because we wanted to challenge the status quo.”

Universal Music Group has yet to respond. shouts: mtv & RM.
