The UK's main supermarket chains have decided to cover up the front of the new Manics album just in case some customers interpret the picture as being a blood covered face.

Full story here

Don't the namby pamby whiners have anything better to do with their days?

Walmart in America apparently refused to stock copies of Scissor Sisters albums because the lyrics included profanities.

They are however happy to stock guns on their shelves for sale.

Bizarre world!

PM.

Intrigue my imagination to capture my attention.

It's ironic that the surest way to offend me is to presume you know what I might be offended by.

It's entirely ridiculous. It's no wonder people don't take responsibility for their actions any more. There's no need to because there's always someone else deciding what is and isn't appropriate for them.*

*yes, I know how that sounds coming from a Dom!

Edited so that it actually makes sense.

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

It's fine to shoot someone - just don't swear whilst you do it ;)

VERY good point!

There's only one thing worse than not getting what you want... and that's getting it!

Maybe they were concerned it may frighten small children?

Even though it doesn't actually make any sense!!

I've corrected the original now :-)

What would you do if you weren't afraid?

In a world where every taste is catered for - legally or not - there'll always been ridiculous decisions like this, especially if its thought that the all-sacred profit would be upset.

If there were two of you, which one would win?

Or, looking at it another way, masses of free publicity for an album which most people would never know was being released anyway, in loads of media outlets they could never afford to get into.

Science, the only religion that works even if you don't believe in it.
Women wanted, preferably with their own Rohypnol.
