Nirvana sued over album cover

What a horrid turd that guy.
Apparently he's been told too many times at birthday parties that he'd be filthy rich if he got a nickel for every record sold.

Looks like he's found a shady lawyer who told him he will stand a chance in court.

It sounds like he used it to his advantage quite a bit already.
His 15 minutes was up long ago.

Here we are now, entertain us ...

Money-grabbing baby turns money-grabbing man.

Is now any picture of an infant in Adam's (or Eve's) costume child porn?  I'm about as far removed from being a Nirvana fan as you  can be, but I always understood that cover to point a finger at exploitation, not exploit itself.

He's taken advantage of his fame (or infamy) multiple times over the years, and now suddenly he's a victim.  :rolleyes:

Despite what he's claiming now, my guess is that either Nirvana's management or the record label did get permission to use the photo.

They should outlaw all covers depicting animals too - they only cater to zoophiliacs.

Naked baby, cute, with no sexual innuendo. Safe for work if not for church.
