Jamaica Says No More Sex

Regulators in Jamaica have announced that explicit references to sex and violence will no longer be permitted over the airwaves, reports the Associated Press.

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 Saturday announcement follows a Feb. 6 ban that specifically targeted dancehall tunes and videos depicting "daggering" - a dance style popular among Jamaican youth that features pelvic grinding simulating sex.

The latest ban also targets hip-hop and soca, a dance music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago.
