Bad Cover Art

 

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). 

I see now that the two naked German hippies, a picture I surely wouldn't consider sexually explicit or an instance of profanity, have disappeared. I'll not protest, but seriously, I think it's a bit uptight.

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. 

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.
