Kanye West- Monster Video BANNED from MTV.

Ever wonder what happened to Kanye West’s “Monster” video? Well, dammit, I do…and that’s why I had to put in a little research. Last I had heard, the video was leaked online in December but was never officially released since then.
After the 30 second preview of the video was leaked by HipHopConnection.com, women right’s activists Sharon Haywood and Melinda Tankard Reist sent a petition of 5,000 signatures from irate, concerned citizens over to Universal Music Group and MTV voicing their outrage over the video clip. They claimed that the video showed women as only sexual objects and that violence against women as art is acceptable.

“The video features West, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Nikki Minaj surrounded by the “sexy” corpses of women in lingerie. Other women dangle from the ceiling by chains. Behind Jay-Z, a dead, naked woman lies with her mouth wide open, bluntly indicating her last act was a sexual one. Ross erotically eats a plate of raw meat from between a female corpse’s legs. And West practically rapes the dead bodies of two women in bed. The message of the video is pretty clear: women are sex objects and it can be erotic when they are killed in violent, sexual ways.
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.”

Surprisingly, last week MTV contacted Reist and Haywood and told them that they wouldn’t be airing the current version of ‘Monster’ because the network has a strong commitment to fighting violence against women through their EXIT campaign, which addresses human trafficking and sexual violence against women around the world.
Although they are satisfied with MTV’s response, they won’t be completely happy until Universal Music Group steps forward and addresses their concerns as well.
This guy has the best luck with his video ideas.

Last week, it was reported that Kanye West’s new video for “All of The Lights” was pulled from youtube because it was deemed a health hazard. It was later put back up with a warning that the flashing imagery in the video could trigger seizures for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
