Arbitrary or what?
This has been bugging me for a few days: Can anyone explain why the words “Russian roulette is not the same without a gun” are bleeped out whenever Lady Gaga’s “Poker Face” video airs on MTV (MTV Hits, that is) — but the network seemingly has no problem airing the video for Rihanna’s “Russian Roulette” unaltered? Am I missing something?
Incompetence, I think, is the correct answer here. It’s interesting to see this double standard being applied to a pop song by a white woman, whilst the r’n’b song goes untouched - the reverse of an unfortunate norm amongst music programmers.
