Re: The image *is* dodgy
@Tim J: I find your comparison with the Nirvana Nevermind cover image interesting... so you don't find that offensive but this Scorpions' one is? Ever wonder why? I for one didn't find either one offensive at all. Nor did I find this one 'sexualised' (your words). Maybe that's worth considering for a while?
For example, a photo of 2 dogs humping in the park might be offensive to you. Or it might be funny. Or maybe it doesn't evoke a response at all. We all have different reactions to different stimuli. Why should I be prevented from watching the National Geographic channel just because you or some unelected private body finds it offensive?
Society's values and laws change over time. As someone earlier pointed out, things that were offensive hundreds of years ago are not anymore. And vice-versa I'm sure (ah... the Romans *really* new how to party!!)
One can argue that Wikipedia is documenting history by including the original album cover. So the question to ask is, should we alter our history to suit our current values/laws? Do we really want to start down that slippery slope?
Mine's the one with the ticket off this crazy planet!!!
