madonna too nasty for singapore

Madonna's Drowned World Tour 2001 concert DVD will not be sold in Singapore and has been banned from release.

The Singapore Board Of Film Censors has deemed Madonna's Drowned World Tour 2001 concert DVD too "explicit" for Singapore and banned the DVD from release.

The censors in the tiny city-state took issue with two scenes in particular— both in Japanese-inspired animation or anime format that depicted a monster fondling and raping an Asian-looking girl.

A spokesman for gay icon's record label here, Warner Music Singapore, told a local paper that the singer's management is still undecided whether to release an edited version.
