30 Seconds To Mars frontman Jared Leto has lashed out at MTV and then later relented over the “banning” the bands latest video ‘Hurricane’.
So was this all one big publicity stunt to get people to watch the clip?
‘Hurricane’ is a 13-minute mini-movie.
MTV decided to ban the video just hours before the network had promoted its premiere because of “indecent material”.
Jared Leto initially let loose on his blog about the reasons why MTV had made its decision, one being that at “09:17 – Woman’s finger running over other woman’s bottom in G-string and touching anus”.
He later withdrew his criticism of MTV stating that “there are some edits that need to be made, there is some footage that remained in the cut that was, I guess, overlooked”.
MTV released a statement to say they had not banned the video.
Leto claims he did not intend to stir up controversy nor did he set out to make a film that would be banned.
Make up your own mind. Watch the video here and tell us below what you think of the new 30 Seconds to Mars clip. Is it worth banning?
