Cribs single banned from daytime

Ofcom has ruled that the Cribs video for Men's Needs is too shocking for daytime and it will not be shown until after the 9pm watershed.

The new Cribs single 'Men's Needs' has been banned from being shown on daytime TV after Ofcom got complaints about the content of the video, in which bassist Ryan Jarman appears to be beheaded, whilst drummer Ross Jarman's arm gets chopped off. Nice. Anyway, it's been removed from MTV2's daytime schedule, Ofcom having ruled that it was "too shocking" for frail daytime stomachs, and it will now not be shown until the 9pm watershed.

The new album from which the single is lifted, 'Men's Needs Woman's Needs, Whatever', is out on 21 May.
