Movies have long had ratings. In store music with explicit lyrics or art has advisory warnings. So what about music videos, should they be rated and be preceeded by a warning? In light of the recent controversies surrounding Rihanna and Lady Gaga videos, the debate is heating up again.

Sexually explicit music videos should have age ratings, an inquiry into the sexualisation and commercialisation of childhood is to say.

Yes

Ratings are better than censorship, my guess is we get both...

No

No, just bring back MTV (ya know the one that played videos) and play the raunchy videos at night or put them on the playboy channel. Those videos are no more graphic than what is played on the news, they just have a catchy phrase and a beat behind it.
