Explicit SexAll explicit references to sex and violence have been banned from the airwaves of Jamaica. The Jamaican government has cracked down on certain songs played on Radio there. According to the Associated Press via Google News, "The new rules from the island's broadcast commission ban any song or music video that depicts sexual acts or glorifies gun violence, murder, rape or arson."

The new rules come on the heels of a ban earlier in the month on "dancehall tunes" that depict "daggering" or dirty dancing. Dancehall is highly popular in Jamaica.

Jamaican regulators announced the ban this weekend, which targets largely songs or music videos that depict sexual acts or glorify gun violence, murder, rape or arson.

The airwaves ban comes on the heels of the Feb. 6th ban on dancehall dance style, `daggering,` which places emphasis on sexual simulation in dance. `Daggering,` was released last June by Mr Vegas and the video shows the Jamaican singer offering dance classes out of his home.
