Here's the UN-censored version of a clip that had a bit of controversy on Muchmusic back in the day (45 seconds in is what caused controversy).



Show an armed bank robbery being planned? OK
Show a gritty reflection of a violent crime? OK
Show a terrified security guard covering the camera before being murdered? OK

Show thugs smoking cigarettes while planning the crime? WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!!??!

I remember they even had a special one hour call-in show about the clip when it was first released to compare the original and censored cuts. I figured it would for sure be about the final scenes with the security guard. It wasn't until the host pointed it out that most of the people noticed. It's not like the smoke glamourized anything, it seemed appropriate for the nature of the clip but due to legislation against advertising it in anyway shape or form it had to be changed.
