of course, this is yet another excuse to indulge in my Zappa fixation:

I've always wondered - does the cigarette on the back of 'Sheik Yerbouti' offend ppl as much as the pistol on the cover of the 1st Foo Fighters album? After all, he DID die of cancer

more goofy than non-pc, but what non-pc thread would be complete w/t 'em?

Not sure if this is strictly "politically incorrect," but it's certainly somewhat disquieting.

Besides having a scantily clad gal on it, what's politically incorrect about that Sniffin' the Tears album cover?

Oxes album OXXXES has pictures of drums-taking, sex and violence ont he vinyl version, and pictures of people protesting about the vinyl version on the CD version.

~~"I've always wondered - does the cigarette on the back of 'Sheik Yerbouti' offend ppl as much as the pistol on the cover of the 1st Foo Fighters album? After all, he DID die of cancer."~~~

Well, considering he died of PROSTATE cancer, I don't think it's that big a deal...

the cover of the 'driver's seat' single is worse, as i recall

― zebedee, Tuesday, 17 December 2002 16:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"the pistol on the cover of the 1st Foo Fighters album?"

You mean the ray gun?

Who is offended by that? Martians?

Kurt used a *SHOTGUN*, let's remember.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 17 December 2002 16:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Shotgun. That's what they told you eh? Like I'd ever use a shotgun...

― Callum (Callum), Tuesday, 17 December 2002 16:22 (twenty-two years ago)

"Oxes album OXXXES has pictures of drums-taking"

What's wrong with taking drums?

"re: the killing joke album. I had the t-shirt of that album and would get stopped by people asking if I was a neo-nazi. v.depressing."

I too had that T-shirt (ten years before it was used for an album in fact) and I had a couple of encounters with supposed "christians".

I say "supposed" because there didn't seem to be an awful lot of evidence of them loving their neighbour or turning the other cheek or indeed hanging about in case anyone who was without sin wanted to cast a stone or two before them....

How the hell do I know? Maybe they haven't had their coffee yet. Anyway, in moderating those posts I'm just doing my job. Naked or offensive stuff needs to be clearly marked. End story.

very very nsfw

I might have said this before on here but I maintain that if that 'Lovedrive' sleeve was for, say, a Sparks album people would kiss its arse rather than hold it up as an example of hard rock misogyny

― Dean GAPDY (DJ Mencap), Sunday, 31 January 2010 18:45 (fifteen years ago)

There's nothing particularly wrong with Love Drive and Animal Magnetism is too risible to be offensive.

A German colleague insists the Virgin Killers sleeve wasn't that big a deal at home and the girl in question (one of the band's daughters?) has a print framed and hanging in her living room.

The most amazing thing is, according to press legend at least, the sleeve design came in direct response to suggestions in the rock press that they were gay.

"I've got an idea. This'll show 'em."

You can't include metal in this. It's so hard to dream up new ways to offend people. I remember getting sent a CD with Christ on the cross on the front except he had a syringe in his arm and a vagina.

Even my pretty large supplies of patience were tested by XXXManiak's Harvesting The Cunt Nectar.

Convicted paedophile Jonathan King's Earth To King Reign In Blood is so try hard it's hilarious on the other hand.

Likewise there's still something too wholesome looking about Walter Egan for his multiple statutory rape suggesting Fundamental Roll to be bothersome.

Saw this at a thrift store yesterday. I can see the band asking "What's wrong with being sexy?" It's pretty wrong.

I like how this one kinda turns it around.
