Silly Censorship Board

itunes: Sigur Rós, Med Sud I Eyrum Vid Spilum Endalaust (2008)

Take a look at the picture below. I took this shot at HMV Citylink.





The actual cover

Did you notice the white label on the Sigur Rós CD that says "Unsuitable For The Young"? What kind of fuck is this? Come on, this is a decent rock album and how can it ended up labelled as unsuitable for the young? Goodness gracious, first of all, it cant be the lyrics issue becos most of the songs are in Icelandic and I believe only a handful of the population here may understand the language. So if it is not because of the content then it must be the cover picture. And I believe so because the bloody white label was pasted on the area where it covered all the asses. This is simply ridicuous, on one hand we are promoting sex education to the kids and on the other, taking a big step back by cautioning consumers on an ass picture? Sometimes I really dun understand the minds of those folks sitting in the censorship. If you have a definite rulings of censorship to follow, why isnt the painted woman with a pair of bare breast on the cover of Coldplay's Viva Lavida CD not covered at all? What exactly are you trying to achieve? Why are there so many double standards here? Really pissed me off.
