Britain censors The Scorpions

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7770456.stm

Apparently an album released in 1976 is just now qualifying as inappropriate for the Brits.

I like the term witchhunt, it seems to fit it well.

Haha, I read about that on wikipedia of all places a few days ago.

EDIT: I don't know if it says this in the article, but it wasn't just the album cover that was blocked; I tried searching for the band on wikipedia, with no result, then I searched scorpion - the insect, and.. no results. Same with scorpio - the star sign.
