    I am going to agree, must have been a bit too much moonshine and since the label bore a striking resemblance to his sister...
  • Oh, for Pete's sake. Really? Porn?

    How stupid and unsophisticated! How embarrassing! What's next? Banning Where's Waldo books? This is an adult product, marketed in an adults only store, for crying out loud! Are these the same geniuses who lobbied to put Levis on Vulcan?

    You folks are surprised? Have you ever been to Alabama? They still believe its 1860 and slavery is a good thing......This label is about 30 years in the future for these pathetic bass-akwards folks.....
