UPDATED - MTV considers Roxette's new video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, too vulgar for their viewers. MTV's chief Mats Jankell, speaking to the Swedish newspaper Expressen, says that the scene where a man putts a golf ball between a woman's naked legs humiliates women. If the video is left uncensored, it will be only shown between 9pm and 6am.

  "Jonas Åkerlund is known for doing daring things. This time he really has stretched the limits and tried to see how far he can go," Jankell says.

  "The Centre Of The Heart" is Åkerlund's 14th video for Roxette, including Per and Marie's solo videos. This is not the first time his work has been censored. "Wish I Could Fly" (nudity), "Anyone" (suicide) and Gessle's "Kix" (person pushed under a train) have all been censored by MTV.

  Update: Aftonbladet has also put up an article. Nothing new there. Åkerlund says that he doesn't feel worried after so many of his videos have been re-edited for MTV. "They edit almost every video, not only mine," he says in Aftonbladet.
