Kinison Pulls Video: Foul-mouthed comedian Sam Kinison is demanding that MTV stop showing the sanitized version of his “Under My Thumb” video. The music network originally had rejected Kinison’s first version, which featured seductively clad women. The revised video, sans women, is just too purebred for Kinison. He sent a telegram to MTV that cited its airing of provocative videos by Cher and Madonna: “I definitely feel there’s a double standard going on.”
