For anyone who has watched Lady Gaga's brilliant Telephone music video, it will be no shock what the networks have said.  Lady Gaga's latest single sparked a storm of controversy with television networks refusing to screen the nine-minute epic video because it is too explicit.  The #1 downloaded Ladvideo on iTunes features full-frontal nudity, provocative lesbian sex references, explicit language and a clip showing several people being murdered.  Other videos like Madonna's Erotica, Justify My Love, and What It Feels Like For A Girl were banned for similar or  lesser.

NineMSN reports, It has already been viewed more than 1.5 million times online and received glowing reviews from critics.  But television networks believe the content is too inflammatory and have refused to show the clip during regular programming.

Gaga, who co-wrote the video, said she was inspired by the films of Quentin Tarantino.  "There's certainly always a hidden message in my music videos," she told the Daily Mail newspaper. "But I would say most predominately, I'm always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be."
