Enrique Iglesias Music Video Banned For Excess Sexiness

Why did Enrique Iglesias’ handlers ditch this gem of a music video, featuring a naked Enrique cavorting with a stripper who dances around a pole that extends from between his legs? Can’t they see this is art?

The video for Iglesias’ cover of Springsteen’s Sad Eyes randomly surfaced on David LaChapelle’s website (I told you: art!) and has begun to make the rounds on quasi-pornographic fan sites, where the response has generally been somewhere between “OMG HOT” and “wtf, is that a stripper pole where his penis should be?”

Iglesias’ phallic fantasy begins with a Britney Spears-esque ode to the loneliness of fame: Enrique watches a video of himself performing, then flips channels to a phone-sex ad, and he is drawn in a sexy trance towards the glowing screen, which he proceeds to make mouth-love to. Then, he goes cruising for hosin’ a fancy car and finds the sex ad lady (played by porn star Cassidey, says Tabloid Prodigy), who is a sad but light-hearted whore who comes to his home and dances around the 3m steel pole that stands erect between his legs. But wait! Was it all a dream? We cut to the image of a possibly-jacking-off Enrique alone in bed with a nudie magazine featuring a trashy picture of sex-ad lady. All in all: an indisputable cinematic triumph for the son of Julio Iglesias, rife with pathos and cleavage.
