30 Seconds to Mars Forced to Censor 'Hurricane' Video

The singer posted a partially redacted letter that contained notes on over 30 scenes that censors found to be overtly violent or sexual. One explicit scene between two women had to be covered for the video to even be aired at all, while several segments -- which feature stabbings and bondage -- can only be aired after certain times at night.
This version of 'Hurricane' has already been edited down from a more explicit version, Leto told Entertainment Weekly, and they do hope to post the uncut video online at some point. "That's a great opportunity, and we're going to take full advantage of that," he said.

Annoying. I am 50+ and it keeps saying I am "too young to view this video." So I can't actually say anything substantive about the video itself.

These nuts have no talent. Censor them all together and that would be fine. America does not like such unwholesome noise. God bless America.

THAT WAS AMAZING! I had to go back and rewatch it several times just to take in the complete awesomeness. Being the person that I am, I'm totally fine with the censored version and would probably go blind if I watched the explicit. 30 Seconds to Mars is one of my favorite bands, and their music videos never cease to amaze me.
And please, people. Get a life and go post your spam somewhere else.

Any help you can provide on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The first cut of the short film was deemed too explicit for US television, frontman Jared Leto wrote on his blog. My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is 10 years older than me, lol. We met online at agelessmat e.c om a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.

It reminds me of a lame watered down live action version of Trevor Brown's collective artwork set to mediocre music.
