JAMAICAN GOV'T BAN DAGGERING

It has been a very interesting two weeks.  Radio, TV, Print Media,  reggae/dancehall artists, and followers of the music have been in heated discussions.  These discussions being based on the subject of daggering.

Last week the Jamaican lawmakers say they will forbid all lyrical references to (daggering) sex and violence on their radio and tv stations.  The Jamaican Broadcast Commission announced new rules which ban "any song or music video that depicts sexual acts or glorifies gun violence, rape, murder or arson."

The government also passed a law banning sexually suggestive dancing in music videos "daggering"

Jamaican dancehall music has long been under scrutiny for it’s lyrical content. Intolerance towards homosexuality and lyrics about fire have been the cause of much controversy in the past.

Does this mean that we will be able to hear cleaner lyrics and see cleaner videos in the future?
