That honour has gone to The Scorpions' Virgin Killers. I'm happy to say I don't own it, but I'm narrowminded enough to ignore the gem of german metal purely on the sheer annoyingness of Wind of Change.

I sincerely hope that anyone who has used album covers for the purposes of sexual arousal gets the help they so badly need, but the actions of the IWF are setting a scary precident. I don't want to wake up and find we're behind a great firewall of chineese proportions.

As the Register article points out, Blind Faith and Led Zeppelin put naked children on the cover before this.

I just wonder what would happen if they got hold of Cannibal Corpse's album art. Naked children is one thing, but how about naked dead babies hanging from meat hooks?

I was assisting my mum, who was busy making a slideshow of representations of Mary and the birth of Jesus, and I have reached the conclusion that as it is wildly believed that mary was no older than 15 when she became pregnant, she is a victim of child abuse. I am also concerned by the number of representations Jesus where he appears naked.

I suggest anyone encountering these tasteless images immediately report them to the IWF.

I think it's funny how so many people are so paranoid about paedophilia (e.g. not letting parents film nativity plays in case they wank over the video when they get home) yet no one seems to have a problem with the way children, particularly babies, are represented in art or on tv adverts (for nappies, baby lotions, etc).
