...and controversy for all

It's a pretty good list of controversial videos, though George Michael's "I Want Your Sex" seems a bit tame in comparison to the contemporary run-of-the-mill hip hop video. Now it's only controversial because George Michael appears in the video.

Marilyn Manson gets a token election here too. I'd never even seen the video before, but it's closer to self-parody and manufactured controversy than something concerned parents groups should get riled up over.
