Potentially a sign of things to come here in Australia, if the government's proposed Internet Filtering plans go ahead. They've blocked access to the crappy poodle haired German cock rock band The Scorpions because they have an album called "Virgin Killer" which features a prepubescent girl on the front cover. I see that no one has called for Led Zeppelin's "Houses of the Holy" to be banned either...
It's a crap album, by a crap band and it was made in 1973, plenty of time in which to have had anyone connected with making/distributing/listening to or purchasing the album arrested. I think it's high time people to a long hard look at themselves before they try and break the Interweb Googletube. It's a series of tubes apparently and people can do things on it that are bad. Although there is no plans to filter/legislate content sent via peer to peer networks, email, torrenting or such, only the big bad "Internets".
