Fatboy banned by CD:UK

CD:UK has banned Fatboy Slim's video for Slash Dot Dash, reportedly over concerns about copycat behaviour and sexual nature, a week after Top of the Pops declined to feature GLC's song.

FatBoy Slim's new video for ' Slash Dot Dash' has been banned by CD:UK. The video features two graffiti artists who end up painting their naked bodies. According to the Daily Star, bosses of ITV's Saturday morning music show were worried it could lead to copycat cases among children, while they felt the sexual nature of the naked body painting was unsuitable for young viewers.

The Fatboy video ban follows a decision by Top of the Pops producers last week to not include a full performance of GLC's 'Guns Don't Kill Rappers Do' on the show. The BBC felt the song's references to firearms breached its code of conduct - therefore they turned down the option to have the song performed and ran a pre-recorded interview instead.
