We Found Love Banned in France



You know you're doing too much when the creators of the ménage à trois think you're too raunchy...

From The Herald
RIHANNA'S Irish field trip has proved too sexy for her French fans.

The singer may think the video for We Found Love is her best ever, but her risque dance around Ireland has landed her in hot water yet again.

France has banned the video from appearing on television before 10pm because of its explicit content.

The clip, which was filmed in several locations across Northern Ireland, first caused controversy when Bangor farmer and DUP councillor Alan Graham demanded that raunchy filming on his land be stopped, because he deemed it "inappropriate".

Now, the Supreme Council of Audiovisual of France (CSA) has banned the release of the clip on any French channel before the watershed.

According to organisation, the clip contains far too much footage showing its stars acting in a "self-destructive" fashion, taking part in "domestic violence", taking drugs and drinking alcohol.

Rihanna and former British Olympic boxing hopeful, Dudley O'Shaughnessy, who plays her boyfriend in the video, also appear in scenes of "pronounced suggestive" content, the CSA said.

It insisted that the popular video was thus not suitable for a young audience and it was censored this week, despite the success of the song on national radio charts. We Found Love is the first single from the star's new album Talk That Talk, and has achieved the highest number of sales in France over five weeks. It is currently the most played song on French radio.
