Really, you wonder if the Parents Television Council is secretly letting MTV write its press releases. Nicki Minaj's butt-heavy video for her new single Anaconda (why, yes, it does sample Sir Mix-A-Lot) dropped today, and the hip-hop artist's outfits and dance moves already have the PTC outraged about the VMAs, despite the fact that the broadcast is several days away.
"Given the explicit video," said a statement from the group, which included a helpful link to a site hosting the video, "the Parents Television Council said that if her performance at the VMAs is anything like her new video, then the show must be rated TV-MA."
So we suspect that not only are you probably going to see Minaj perform a rough approximation of her sexy video, you're probably going to see a Beats integration during the A pod when the network cuts to commercial because if the VMAs are about one thing, it's commercial synergy. Minaj's album drops in Q4, and that is also when Apple expects the Beats deal to close.
It's too early to say what exactly Apple will do with the Beats purchase, but their headphones sure do suck and it's hard for a brand to shake that association. Beats is likely to help with that, and Minaj is likely to boost the Beats brand yet further, especially after everyone gets an eyeful on Sunday. Sorry, PTC, the free market isn't on your side on this one.
Ffff in my country we even have a show with full frontal shots of naked people on day time television on a big network. Everything is so controversial and taboo in some countries.
Who cares about a lil ass shaking like really?
People are bored.
