Thought I'd borrow an eariler thread title from Trashcanman for this bit of really pretty damn depressing news. A supermarket chain in America has placed a white slip, usually reserved for porno mags (in the UK anyway) over the front of a celebrity magazine because the cover would cause offence. So what exactly was on the front causing so much outrage? A Marilyn Manson promo stunt? A Britney naked scandal? No no no, far more offensive than anything like that. It was this.  Yes sir, because nothing still says offensive and outrageous like a married gay couple with a baby. USA! USA! USA! Pathetic, no? |

No joke.  Imagine all of the curious shoppers picking up the mag thinking there was some real shit under there and only seeing Elton and family and thinking "what the fuck is that all about?". To be fair to the USA, this is not a common thing. I read that that pic was tweeted from Arkansas which is the state known for being dead last in literacy and way out front of rest of the pack in inbreeding. In other cnesorship news, one Olivia Munn has a bit of cover controversy of her own over this:  www.celebs.com/archives/man-brands-olivia-munns-crotch-disgusting.htmlWah. I'm so scared of women's underwear. |

Uh? I could take the stance of "what right-thinking male would object to Olivia Munn in her underwear?" but, really, that's the sort of cover that has ALWAYS been on these magazines. This idiot should come to the UK, where Nuts magazine is as mainstream as NME.  Suddenly a frighteningly hot women in blue knickers doesn't seem so bad. |

Apparently is the was the fact that the panties were see-through that set some people off. I don't really see the problem since you can't really see anything "obscene" (as if there's anything whatsoever wrong with the human body), but you know how people are.

I didn't even notice. Let's face it, you'd have to have been staring pretty damn hard to see that. The guy probably had to beat down his erection before he ran off to complain.

No joke. And for the record, I was staring pretty damn hard.
