^You forgot the clown posting Love Beach. Not bad taste, but a tired cliche.

But sure as eggs are eggs, when it comes to album covers of nudity or bad art, some clown will eventually post the Millie Jackson cover and someother clown will post the Blind Faith cover.

Yeah, there's nothing outrageous in those. Personally I disliked them and found them bellow what they should have been, quality-wise, but that's not exceptionally bad by any means. For real stinkers I'd have to look far beyond such a small selection (2010 albums that I listened).
(And I expected you to post about those two particular albums. ) |

Don't think I'd segregate Crsuh Depth as an example of bad art - the original is on silver foil and works works just fine. It's not fine art, but it suits the music.
Again, don't see this as a particularly notable example of bad cover art - it's lazy photoshopping but not unexpected from Ms Goldfrapp and her preoccupation with personal image.

I can't share your interpretation of the series of events. I was not in any way out to surprise people with pictures of penises. I was posting what I considered an instance of very bad cover art - It didn't enter my mind that the naked people in the picture could be offensive to anyone here (then I learned something). It was not a picture of penises, it was a picture of two naked men, of course having penises. If you were to cut out the penis-areas of the picture and isolate them, you'd probably not be able to recognize what you'd see as penises. PENIS WARNING!!

Generally I listen to music with good cover art, here are some highlights of the worst covert arts I encountered in 2010:
I didn't put prog covers and prog-metal covers because while I find them ugly in general, people here like them. Edited by harmonium.ro - April 15 2011 at 20:11 |

I disagree on the first count, our forum rules and moderation pretty much mirror the way society regulates itself in the "traditional" public space. But I agree on the second count, and I think the only difference between us is where we draw the line between appropriate and unappropriate - which makes the whole issue a completely subjective one, i.e. a case where no rules should be set, according to you from our "Coran burning and free speach" debate.

I am sure you would not consider it pornography. But there is a huge difference between rules against tasteless content being enforced by a private organization on their own property and by the government. The reasons nudity without a warning should not be allowed on a forum that is intended to be welcoming to everyone seem fairly obvious to me. |

Real world legislation and forum rules are basically the same, at the level we're talking here. I'm sure the image was not pornographic; penis or boob does not necessarely pornography make, which means (according to the "site rules and regulations") the image went under "offensive images", which makes my point. You officially hate it when laws (rules) come to the rescue of people feeling offended, yet you reported an "offensive" image.
Of course if it actually was a pornographic image then I wrongly interpreted the situation. Edited by harmonium.ro - April 15 2011 at 19:31 |

Psh, I thought it was pretty clear I did not mean right in the legal sense. ;-) Although there are laws about showing pornography to minors. There was one case in my area of a guy going up to girls at a school bus stop with porn playing on his laptop. I think they eventually got him, it was so long ago I can't clearly remember. I always wondered what type of porn it was that he thought was so important that he had to share. |

You were saying it's stupid to have laws that cater for people feeling offended, Henry; now you're advocating the exact opposite view. I'm disappointed.

Well, it's evolved from the original definition of "This could be considered pornography and may get you fired" to a courtesy warning for any explicit content that someone might not want to see (or have others see them see).
Not even remotely uptight. Do you consider it normal to surprise people with pictures of penises without their consent? Perhaps while they're in a public place and it might be embarrassing. If you are fine with that then I have plenty of websites I can suggest you browse instead. Ok sure, maybe it's "art" and not "pornography" (that is not a distinction I care about or wish to discuss) but there are plenty of legitimate reasons for someone to not want to see a penis (much less a dirty German hippy penis) and you have no right to force it upon them. If you'd linked to it with a warning I wouldn't have said anything, I've certainly seen worse on the internet, but have some courtesy for other forum members. |
