COUCH POTATO: S, S, S and M, M, M ...

Rihanna's new music video rivals Lady GaGa for overt sexuality and eye-grabbing costumes (That polka dot dress is to die for). It's uniquely RiRi though, who's softer and more playful with an urban flair. And, oh boy, do we love the kink. Anyone who expresses offense is decidedly lame and unsexy, and should probably stick to board games. S&M is reportedly banned on YouTube in 11 countries (mostly southeast Asia). But it's far more pleasing to the eye than the crotch. The pastel latex, Perez Hilton on a leash, pink popcorn, and bondage are all more fun and cute than raunchy. The song lyrics are pretty clever and so racy that BBC Radio 1 won't play it before 7 p.m. This is odd since there aren't any expletives or explicit sex acts in them. Was it the "Sticks and stones may break my bones/but chains and whips excite me" part? What happened to being afraid your kid would join a gang? If he or she is sophisticated enough to understand innuendo, it's time to curb your censorship and have that talk. Either that, or play Kidz Bop and leave the rest of us alone.
