Art Censorship Art.

“Come and get it!!”

Take a bunch of sexy twentysomethings, have them remove their clothes, get ’em dancing, and, in no time, you’ll be watchin’ ’em get it on, right?

Right, but only if “get it on” means “make funny signs and symbols out of the censorship bars that inevitably accompany televised U.S. nudity.”

At least, that’s the way it works in the brilliant video for “Toe Jam,” above, by the BPA (Brighton Port Authority), a collaboration between Fatboy Slim and David Byrne, here featuring Byrne and Dizzee Rascal on vocals. Scandalous!

That’s pretty funny. Funnier still that YouTube has restricted access to this video to people over 18.

I am trying to understand the minds that decided that looking at the black bars which prevent us from seeing the naughty bits is also harmful… what next? It’s a funny old world we live in.
