Political Correctness Has Gone Too Far

In an effort to make sure I’m legal and support my musically-focus IP creating brethren, last year I basically tossed out all my MP3s and re-ripped my entire library of a few hundred CDs from scratch.
For all the music I do own and have been accumulating for a couple decades on CD (don’t even get me started on the hundreds of cassettes I own), there were perhaps a few dozen albums and miscellaneous songs I got from other people. I inventoried them and decided which ones I wanted to purchase. One album that is not available anywhere, that I had borrowed from a friend, is a compilation titled “Jägermusic,” ostensibly put out by the JägerMeister company as a promo. One of the few songs I wanted off that album was “Cartoon Nightmare” by Insane Clown Posse. No problem, pull up iTunes, and 99¢ later it’s on my iPod.
But I didn’t listen to it until now. Crap.
They don’t edit out the word “hell.” They don’t edit out the word “shit.” Nor do they edit other various and sundry talk of obscene actions against life and limb.
They edited (garbled) this line, “I hijack planes and fly them into record label towers.”

Prescott, AZ, May 16-18th. About 1000 miles less than last year’s California trip. But I’m going to try and convince a buddy to take our bikes down there in his truck. You just can’t trust the weather around here in May.
Google Maps has decided not to play nice with embedding my map, but you can see it if you click the link above. Update: Apparently it has a problem with the new-fangled markers that aren’t waypoints or stops. So I converted the markers to stops and it displays.

Hackers Post YouTube Video Declaring War on Scientology
“For the good of your followers, for the good of mankind–for the laughs–we shall expel you from the Internet and systematically dismantle the Church of Scientology in its present form. We acknowledge you as a serious opponent, and we are prepared for a long, long campaign. You will not prevail forever against the angry masses of the body politic. Your methods, hypocrisy, and the artlessness of your organization have sounded its death knell.”
