Madonna's 'Girls Gone Wild' Video' Deemed "Too Raunchy" For YouTube

Superstar singer Madonna has suffered a blow as she aims to promote her new single 'Girls Gone Wild' - after YouTube deemed it "too raunchy" for under-age viewers.
The star's latest single is the second to be taken from her 12th studio album 'MDNA' - which came out today - and hit shelves earlier in March. But, promotional efforts for the track have been dealt a hammer blow, after it was revealed that the video had been restricted for 18+ viewing only on the site - with YouTube bosses even sending Madonna's team a list of changes required to the video.
A source told the New York Post: "YouTube has decided the video is too raunchy and should only be viewed by those 18 or over, and actually, the video is hard to find on the site. YouTube has sent Madonna’s team a list of shots that should be cut to make it appropriate for everyone."
A spokesperson for YouTube added: "While we don't comment on individual videos, we review all videos flagged by our users against our community guidelines. In some cases we restrict flagged material that, while not in violation of those guidelines, contains images that may be unsuitable for younger users."
