Madonna censored in Malaysia

Madonna’s performance was struck from Malaysia’s television broadcast of the Grammy Awards because her skimpy outfit and steamy dance moves were too risque for audiences in the Muslim-majority nation, a network official said today.

The Grammys were broadcast last night on Malaysia’s 8TV station, 12 hours after the show took place in the United States, but Malaysian fans were surprised when the show kicked off without the much-hyped opening act – Madonna and the cartoon-fronted rock group Gorillaz.
