The Parents Television Council Is Already Upset About What Nicki Minaj Will Do on Sunday
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."
The VMAs will probably be rated TV-14, as usual. MTV had no comment.
The rating of the VMAs is a particular bee in the PTC's collective bonnet this year. Earlier this week Tim Winter issued a statement demanding that MTV "commit publicly" to a statement authored by the PTC saying they wouldn't show "explicit sexual content," apparently as defined in relationship to Miley Cyrus's much-discussed twerking performance last year, in addition to agreeing not to violate its own standards, as the PTC claims it did in '13.

Same. RT @IzzyxPinkprint: @NICKIMINAJ I want every parent in America mad at you after your VMA performance. GIVE ME IT !!!
Why not just block the channel from your own kids and stop butting into other people's business? I was 5, 6 years old watching music videos and movies just as bad as the Anaconda video and it never did any damage or whatever.
