Justin Timberlake's 'Tunnel Vision' can stay on YouTube due to its "artistic context"

  • July 9, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Justin Timberlake newJustin 'JT' Timberlake's tedious titfest for 'Tunnel Vision' has been rein­stated onto YouTube because it is "art".

The video was initially removed from the site due to the fact that all of the women in it are topless, but has now been deemed okay to be seen by anyone and everyone.

"While our Guidelines generally prohibit nudity, we make excep­tions when it is presented in an edu­ca­tional, doc­u­ment­ary or artistic context, and take care to add appro­pri­ate warnings and age restric­tions," a Google spokes­per­son said about it all (as quoted here).

Fucking hell.

Weirdly the similarly 'con­tro­ver­sial' video for Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' can only be seen on YouTube in an edited version.
