Sticks and stones may break her bones…but chains and whips excite her!! Unfortunately, RihRih’s S&M fetish may get her banned from tv in 11 countries!!

“Southern Asian countries immediately banned it, MTV is considering a re-edit, and BBC Radio 1 has vetoed playing it until after 7pm,” the U.K.’s Daily Mirror reports. The steamy video for “S&M”, which features the songstress wearing see-through latex while walking Perez Hilton on a leash, is about “sadomasochist relationship with the press … it isn’t just about a bunch of whips and chains,” according to director Melina Matoukas. Ah, but of course! It’s just art!

Rihanna tweeted about the scandal after a fan expressed concern that the video would have to be heavily edited for TV. “MTV approved it before hand! So nope,” the flame-haired star reassured them. We hope the drama doesn’t throw RiRi her game, since the announcement just came that Rihanna and Drake will perform at the Grammys together. We personally think the video is more silly than sultry (ice cream covered in gemstones? ball-gags for the press? Adorbs!), but we guess we do live in a country that produced such gems as Madonna‘s “Human Nature” video or Madonna’s “Erotica” video, or…well, anything else Madonna did between 1991 and 1996. So what do you think? Is S&M really that offensive, or is this just Beyonce‘s perfurme commercial scandal all over again? As far as we’re concerned Rihanna could tap dance naked through Times Square and we wouldn’t do anything but applaud, but maybe that’s just us?
