Miley Cyrus and Britney Spears' music videos are too sexually charged for French daytime television, a broadcast watchdog stated this week.
France's Superior Council of Audiovisual announced that Miley's "Wrecking Ball" video, along with Britney's "Work B****" weren't appropriate to screen on daytime television, according to a report by the Telegraph.
The board announced on Wednesday that no TV channels can show the videos before 10 p.m., when the CSA said they could show more adult-minded content.
In a statement released on Thursday, the watchdog reported that some channels weren't displaying parental advisories alongside the videos when they played during the day, according to the Telegraph.
Shots of Miley's nude body straddling a metal wrecking ball, then showing particularly amicable affection for a sledgehammer were deemed too sexually explicit, the CSA stated.
For Spears' "Work B****," the singer's bondage-esque getup and liberal use of whips on her backup dancers demonstrated "a sadomasochistic universe representing women in a way that risks shocking many viewers."
