Rihanna has sparked a backlash in Britain after TV censors ruled her S&M video is too racy for daytime viewers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The promo caused controversy earlier this year (11) with its raunchy imagery as the singer appeared semi-naked, tying a man to a bed, and suggestively sucking a banana.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bosses at the Wtf Tv channel aired the clip during a morning slot, prompting a viewer to complain to TV watchdog committee Ofcom that it was “completely unsuitable for daytime broadcast”.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ofcom chiefs ruled the promo “clearly and repeatedly focused on sex, bondage and sadomasochistic sexual practices as a theme” and that certain scenes “could have potentially dangerous consequences if imitated by children”.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now they are calling a meeting with several top TV executives to discuss their policies on racy music videos.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A statement from Ofcom reads, “We will… be requesting that broadcasters who transmit such programming attend a meeting at Ofcom to discuss the compliance of such material.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“(We will) shortly be issuing new guidance about the acceptability of material in music videos broadcast before the watershed.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
