Network Pulls Eminem Video After Jackson's Protest
Advertisements [?]
snip........

Black Entertainment Television has agreed to pull the video. The network's president and founder, Robert Johnson, said he felt it was inappropriate to disparage a celebrity.

After the video aired last weekend on several networks and the rapper's Web site, Jackson said publicly that he wanted Eminem's video banned.

The video for "Just Lose It" shows Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers) dressed as Jackson sitting on a bed with little boys jumping in the background.

Eminem mentions child molestation in the rap and asks the boys to sit on his lap.

A Jackson spokeswoman told the New York Daily News that Jackson is "very angry" because the video "crossed the line." In an interview with comedian Steve Harvey on a Los Angeles radio station, Jackson called the video "outrageous and disrespectful."

He said it was "one thing to spoof, but it is another to be demeaning and insensitive.''
