It's giving me shades of when "Justify My Love" appeared on Madonna's 2009 Celebration DVD collection with new black bars over the nudity (which was hilarious because pre-release it was hyped as being a "never before seen" version of the video, which I suppose ended up being true since the black bars had truly never before been seen.)

Anyway what are the odds that this is the version that ends up on the Smash blu-ray? I'd like to think we'll still get the original full video there, but I don't know - PSB have made some terrible choices in the past so nothing would surprise me at this point.

Not really. Not so much about PSB, the author doesn't seem to know a lot about them. But the article is long and filled with lots of crap about society with absolutely no connection to PSB.

Very disappointing indeed. At least the uncensored version is still available on YouTube. Maybe they couldn't get any ads because of the "nudity". Hopefully the Blu-ray will be uncensored.

A previously unused American edit of the video had been mistakenly upgraded and uploaded - this has now been deleted. The video won Music Week’s award for Video of the Year in 1990 even though it was banned by MTV in America."

America:- Naked Man. Bad.
Naked women. Perfectly fine.

Although Janet Jackson might disagree.
