Probably the easiest way to get a bit of notoriety these days is to make a video that someone ends up banning, since they show that you don’t play by society’s ‘rules’ and that you’re too cool for things like ‘basic decency’ – something that The Cribs have picked up.

The video for Men’s Needs by The Cribs has been outrageously banned by MTV2 before nine o’clock due to some kind of OFCOM complaint. Officially, the video to Men’s Needs by The Cribs was banned because of an incident where a naked woman chops off one man’s arm and another man’s heads, but we’re not so sure – if we were OFCOM we’d have banned the video to Men’s Needs by The Cribs for at least one of the following: a) gratuitous use of huge black squares, b) utilising computer-based effects that would have looked out-of-date two decades ago or c) ripping off The Strokes to an almost illegal degree.
