Eagle-eyed Idolator reader shelo noted in in the comments section of today’s entry on an MTV article about kids who were on the covers of famous alt-rock albums that MTV had snipped off the little Nirvana baby’s wang for their accompanying graphic. That’s in addition to feeling the need to chop off the word “p—s” in the article itself. So apparently it’s kosher for teenagers to make carpet-munching jokes on MTV dating show Next, but a baby’s ding-a-ling and a word any sixth-grade health student knows are now off limits.
Well that’s because carpet munching is hillarious, brah. The mere visual and word penis makes me feel funny on the inside, and I desperatly don’t want to catch “The Gay” when I watch my MTV, brah.
I remember a kid back in high school who got in trouble for wearing a shirt with that album cover. The principal made him turn it inside out. Nice to know that MTV is now at about the same cultural level as my rural Midwest high school administration.
I thought everyone knew that the cover is censored on mtv, walmart, etc. Come on, it’s a baby’s wang for chrissakes
How about a feature on iconic album-cover dicks?
Not including Toby Keith, of course.
Anything MTV. Attention must not be paid.
Nirvana baby doesn’t have a better picture than his Myspace shot?
Looks like they put the baby’s dick back. Which is… good?
