Parents shouldn't need a handy little label that says "Explicit Content." Lyrics are printed in liner notes these days, and all it takes is a couple of glances at the lyrics or even just at the cover of an album for a parent to get the gist of what it's about and whether it's okay for Little Johnny.

Many stickered albums today are not so because of a few swear words that can be edited out. "Occult references" and the like are also on the list, and a lot of albums are getting the ban with features that can't be removed without ruining their artistic quality.

I don't think I'd care about "artistic quality" when buying a CD full of swear words for my kids.

Not to mention that only uptight parents would be bothered by a lot of the standards, which is a piss-poor reason to damage the marketability of good music.

Uptight parents who spend money. Its a bussiness. Its not like you can't go someplace else and buy Slipknot or whatever has been banned at Target.
