Just watched the Eminen video "Without me" and i can`t believe that MTV has edited out the line

"and they tried to shut me down on MTV"

I`m totally against censorship... but i`m even more against altering someones work because they don`t agree with it!.. BIG BROTHER OR WHAT

Eminems new video is playing UNCUT on Kerrang between 10pm and 3am. Along with the completely uncut, controversal Prodigy video - Smack My Bitch Up.

I know about MTV being pathetic. They even blur out the album cover at the end of the video. I downloaded the video of Without Me and it isn`t blurred in original. Its the cover for The Eminem Show ff your interested.

MTV (especially MTVUK) are known for cutting/censoring music videos. I thought that Marylin Manson`s The Fight Song was really funny after MTV got their scissors out as you can see him singing/ie moving his mouth and you get ready to scream SH*T and then.... you have well nothing except for background music.
What you can do though is buy the CD/download the song from the internet and play it while watching the clip, or to make it easier just switch to a good music channel

They probably cut the MTV part because there not allowed to advertise products....

eh? em... so how come they can play Dire Straits - Money for Nothing?

nowt to do with advertising, all to do with them not wanting derogatory remarks made about them... which still doesn`t give them a right to alter an artists work
