Facebook have banned Nirvana's album artwork for their seminal "Nevermind" album from the social networking site.
According to the site, the picture was removed as it was found in violation of Facebook's terms of use.
In particular, the album cover violated the rule that states: "Facebook does not allow photos that attack an individual or group, or that contain nudity, drug use, violence or other violations of the Terms of Use."
The album artwork was posted on the official Nirvana page as part of preparations for a new 20th Anniversary Deluxe reissue of the classic grunge record.
Hmm...not sure censoring one of the most iconic pieces of album artwork ever produced is going to do much for Facebook's street-cred. Whatever their concerns surrounding nude children, this seems more than a little rash. Has not the "Nevermind" baby's nude pose now fallen into the same artistic space as "David" by Michelangelo in the collective cultural mindset of the masses?
Kurt Cobain would be rolling in his grave.
UPADTE: Facebook have seen sense, and the album cover is now...ahem... in bloom on the Nirvana Facebook page.

i do not understand the reason, but the big game between the big company is always hard to understand.
there is no real cooperation between big company, profit is the only reason make them together.
I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.
