Like Carnegie Mellon, or melon with an extra l, or mekon with two l's in place of the k.

Who knows what else these stalkers might have done?"

Um. Ok billy.

It seems harsh to punish people who clearly idolize Corgan, but on the other hand, they sound like stalkers... Who knows what else these stalkers might have done? I assume that anyone reading this thread cares more about Corgan staying alive and less about seeing leaked album artwork.

First off--jailing someone for stealing photos?!? Also, the fascist groove thang imagery is like a less expensive version of the recent Nine Inch Nails promo.

Paris Hilton? Nazi tots? Such heavy-handed "commentary" on society: If Billy and his fellow, er, Pumpkin really wanted to relive the '90s in all its unsubtle glory, at least he could also grow his hair back and invite James and D'Arcy back, too. (Of course, such heavy-handed booklet art really does smack more of Marilyn Manson anyhow.)

I'm sure SP paid plenty to get the shots taken and the photographer may have held on to rights to display in a gallery at a later date (and possibly even sell - see Lance Mercer's latest Pearl Jam book)...

My wildest dreams have finally been realized!

I have the proof, even.
