Posts: 104 | November 8th, 2009 at 10:25pm So I'm writing a paper on 21st Century Breakdown and I need a little help. What makes the content of this CD explicit? I get the fact that they swear, but what makes this CD different from Nimrod? I mean dick head fuck face cock smoking mother fucking asshole dirty twat waste of soap I hope you die, that's not explicit? Why is it that 21st got a parental advisory sticker while the others don't?
I would really love if someone could help me. |

  | November 9th, 2009 at 11:36am don't they all have warning stickers on them? I'm pretty sure they do, maybe we're just a bit more strict out here |

Calls to know your enemy, to united, to bring down the state, religion and oppression across the world don't stand up very well in the supposedly democratic states full of freedom of speech. |

no I'm positive that the other albums don't have stickers on them.
Thanks for your thoughts though. it really helps me. I still can't quite wrap my mind around the whole thing yet, but this really helps. i really don't understand censorship, but if you guys have anymore ideas to this, it's greatly appreciated. |

Posts: 565 | November 30th, 2009 at 03:28pm it depends when you got your CD as the law has changed on parental advisory in the US and the UK some of mine have stickers but none of my early ones do.
you could look at it from that angle, there are loads of info online about it. if you need any addresses or anything give me a shout I have to do loads of things like that for uni.
you could look into the message of 21st C B to, the messages it offeres and how some might see this as explicit.
sorry that might be alittle more analitical than needed. |

| December 30th, 2009 at 09:35am On my Isomniac Cd there's no explict sticker on it! But i think it was used because i only got it on X-mas..... and i think there was a sticker that said it was used?? Do you think my Cd got bought back when before the explict stickers even existed? It was either made in 1995 or 1994 (Idk the real year!)...sooo what do you guys think? |
