Idolator

Our readers proved to be hard at work when they noticed that MTV had lopped off the widdle weenie of the iconic Nevermind infant. Well reader Jim Treacher has since noted that the penis has sprouted again, with MTV reinstating the original image. Good job, y'all. You deserve a stiff drink, even if the word "p—-s" remains circumsized in the article itself. Some of you may think we've milked this penis thing for all it's worth, but we'll never go soft when it comes to issues of censorship.

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.
