I think most people here agrees with you on that. The cover is
tasteless (and repulsive, even), but that doesn't mean it should be
censored. A big chunk of the world thought the Muhammad cartoons were
tasteless, but we have those up.

It's like that Voltaire-quote. You know which one I'm talking about
(I'm not gonna actually say it, because only douchebags actually say
it).
