Justin Timberlake's NSFW music video returns to YouTube after brief ban

Superstar Justin Timberlake released his new music video for 'Tunnel Vision' earlier this week, but the clip's risqué content and nudity raised eyebrows.

The video, which has attracted over 1.2 million hits already, shows fully naked women writhing around (pictured below) to the track and following its release on July 3, YouTube removed it from the site as it breached the Google-owned site's policy on explicit content.

Now, July 5, the cut has reappeared on the video hosting site and a statement from YouTube explains that because of the artistic appeal of the nudity an exception has been made:

"While our guidelines generally prohibit nudity, we make exceptions when it is presented in an educational, documentary or artistic context, and take care to add appropriate warnings and age restrictions."
