Psychostick Asks: Aren't Boobs Advertiser Friendly?

For those not in the loop on the YouTube situation, the site has started banning certain videos from being monetized with ads for not being "advertiser friendly" over a variety of reasons, from violence to near-nudity.
While debate rages on as to how this "non-advertiser friendly" tag seems to be disproportionately applied only to smaller YouTube channels and not to the biggest ones, our favorite comedy metal group Psychostick ran afoul of the practice with the "Because Boobs" video. The band comments:
"Because Boobs isn't very advertiser friendly, so YouTube says it shouldn't be monetized. Advertisers never use boobs to sell things. Just ask Carl's JR. ...or Hardee's depending on your location. #MeatEmbrace This is a parody video, we're aware of YT's guidelines reguarding tags, etc and accept the decree of our internet overlords."
