Why wasn't nirvana Banned?

In September 1991, Nevermind by nirvana was released, it had a naked baby on the cover. lead singer kurt cobain responded to the allegations of child porn with:

So that means the people who arrest, indict, try and sometimes even execute pedophiles pedophiles themselves? Are innocent people like you, me, your parents, siblings, teachers, policemen, firemen, doctors, politicians, scientists and others pedophiles themselves?

Remember to take this whole post in mind if you’re gonna reply.

What does this have to do with anything?

I hate this kind of thinking. How can you be offeded and even consider that kind of picture child pornography? We all have naked pictures as babies…so that means our parents are pedophiles?
Just being naked does not mean it’s porn. Geez people…you have to be offended by anything?

Is a shaved pussy also porn? http://www.demotivationalposters.org/image/demotivational-poster/0806/shaved-pussy-pussy-shaved-vagina-cat-demotivational-poster-1214279308.jpg

also my parents didn’t take any pics of me nude, and what that quote?

That might explain some things. Well we here in Romania at least, are not offended by naked babies. Just being naked shouldn’t be considered having any sexual meaning. If it does for you, then it’s your problem.
Of course there’s a bigger discussion to be had on this topic, but I’m not gonna go further than this because It’s a stupid issue.

Please Explain

This thread confuses me… :confused:

we’re discussing why nevermind by nirvana wasn’t banned, you know, the one with the naked baby on the cover.

lol. The question was if this should have been banned because it can be considered child porn.

If that’s child porn then I’m a pikachu.

BTW, this is the same baby today.

That pic of the same guy now is awesome, he’d be about my age…

Wow, I didn’t know you were that young. He’s 21 now. :smiley:

Ah, not quite then, I’m about to turn 23

Happy Birthday!

Still…you’re younger than me…sigh.

That’s an awesome cake. Not my birthday until the 13th of Jan tho :stuck_out_tongue:

So I’m the first guy to congratulate you. Woot! :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah. This one is great too, it’s just a bit too gray.

I agree with Kurt Cobain’s response. That cover should only bother people who have personal issues with it.
I just find it (and all children) disgusting. That’s hardly a reason to ban it.

I find some bands’ misogynistic lyrics much more offensive than that cover.

In general though, I believe people are offended much too easily, and hand out laws and bans much too light handedly.

Hey Francis… take a look at a certain genre of anime porn… you’ll have a field day with that if you wanted a bloody CD cover banned, lol.

OT - I WANT THOSE CAKES!.. and Happy Birthday :3
