Manic Art Oo-er
This painting by Jenny Saville, used as the cover for the new Manic Street Preachers' album Journal For Plague Lovers has caused a rumpus among the big supermarkets. Sainsburys, Tesco, Asda and Morrisons have all demanded the publishers supply the album in a sleeve to hide the "inappropriate" artwork. I guess they don't want to give boys the idea of head-butting their raspberries. If the idea caught on, it could cost them a bomb in fruit.

What the hell this is stupid! I would understand if they'd used Saville's hermaphrodite but how is this innapropriate? Amazing painting !
Hi, Michael
Absolutely. It's a terrific painting. Gone are the days when politically incorrect album covers sold in record shops. Now the supermarkets and the thought police have taken over.
