Well I for one visit the "What Are You Listening To" thread on a daily basis just to arouse my prurient interest.  Doesn't everybody?

It's a shame that the Google Adsense can't tell the difference between erotic imagery and outright pornography.

Also, I very much doubt that there's many young kids looking into the world of progressive rock that could potentially be offended.




btw: Max was given 3 days to comply, we are currently on Day 2
So why haven't Amazon blanked the Roxy Music cover?

Yeah can we replace Google AdSense with another ad that can permit our reliability?

Is our ProgArchives' offer "buy .... on  ebay" (with visible covers)) tolerable by Adsence? Disapprove

I know. He's merely rebelling a bit like we all are doing. This is not something we ever wished for, believe you me.

MY pin-up will remain pixelated in quiet protest until Felona e Sorona is restored to its original glory

I'd like to make it clear that I personally cannot support, condone, endorse, defend, justify or enforce any censorship of album covers. 

Any comments I make here in this thread regarding the whys and wherefores of the current situation are simply to support Max in whatever he has to do to resolve this and to explain why this is happening.

Count me in on this.
The first thing I made clear when this was brought to the attention of the admins, was that I would have absolutely nothing to do with the enforcement of it. Seeing Felona e Sorona chastised like this makes my stomach turnDead

Wacko If parents don't want their kids to be exposed to such smut, then maybe it is their responsibility to supervise them and limit their access to the Internet.    I assume that on the bright side that means that many internet news sites will no longer be doing stories about Miley Cyrus' twerking or for that matter anything involving the Kardashians since they won't want to lose their Google ad revenue.
