Comments on: Playing the censor: Would you ban this band’s ‘violent’ photos? http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/playing-the-censor-would-you-ban-this-bands-violent-photos/ Australian Censorship Discussion Blog Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:30:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Maddy http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/playing-the-censor-would-you-ban-this-bands-violent-photos/comment-page-1/#comment-8272 Maddy Wed, 15 Dec 2010 17:14:50 +0000 http://www.somebodythinkofthechildren.com/?p=297#comment-8272 Dear 100%dirtyfeed, Misogynistic? Misogynistic? You're very fucking retarded. Do you know what that means? If you read the interview and article with the band, the girls in their promotions were willing to pose and also told them to "pull my hair" and "choke me like you want to fuck me!" They don't actually believe they're the most pissed off band in the world and obviously you're taking this five times more seriously than they ever did. They're doing what they want to do because it's FUN and what they LIKE, they aren't meaning to be serious. Second, I highly doubt you've ever read the contract with their record label, so you have no idea what kind of deal they have and if you honestly think they'll go broke, you don't even know what a fucking record label is and does for a band. Finally, Oceano will never even be in a two dollar bin. They won't even make it that far because technical, progressive metal will never be mainstream. Dear 100%dirtyfeed,

If this is the way the band would like to represent themselves, so be it. I enjoy their music and as for the children, I highly doubt you're going to find a 7 year old looking at their Myspace or a 10 year old jamming out to some death core music. Also, before you bash on them Stefan, they obviously have some sort of talent other wise they would have never gotten signed and they wouldn't be headlining tours across the united states. They may not make music you appreciate but I know plenty of people who do appreciate this kind of art- if you will. Personally I find these pictures perfectly fine.

That is weak as anything, the blood doesn't even look like blood. I have seen a picture of a friend who dressed up like a vampiric creep nurse for halloween with heaps of fake blood and it looks a lot worse than any of that. An M 15+ rating from me.
