June 19, 200818 yr At least here in the US, every physical album copy I've seen in stores has a convenient big black sticker that covers the lady's exposed breasts on the front cover artwork (and some of the title text as well). The sticker is the one that like the album name and all of the singles. From images I've seen from other places, the sticker is smaller and in the corner of the album, so as not to block the title or much artwork. But, in the US, the placed the sticker right in the middle over her! I think it takes a bit away from the band's artistic choice of the album cover, and I'm a bit disappointed in whomever made the decision to do this. Is it like this in other places?
June 19, 200818 yr ^ exactly!! my album cover shows her boobs just fine... lol and I got mine at Best Buy! :laugh3:
June 19, 200818 yr It didn't do that on my copy. :thinking: Maybe you just live in a conservative place in the US?
June 19, 200818 yr Shakira's Oral Fixation Vol. 2 was censored in some countries as well. They extended the leaves to cover her belly.
June 19, 200818 yr It's probably just those particular stores that are choosing to place the sticker there...I know it's not like that everywhere in the US.
June 19, 200818 yr nope! mine wasn't censored. i would only expect censorship or something like this, maybe, in Wal-Mart. again, as somebody mentioned, it's a famous painting/artwork. and i say this with exaggeration, but it's not like anybody hasn't seen boobs before (get over it, you prude conservatives. your children will have to learn about them anyway.) :rolleyes:
June 19, 200818 yr the boobs on mine were loud and proud haha i just really wanted to say that it bought mine at target and there weren't any conveniently placed stickers or anything
June 19, 200818 yr ^ exactly!! my album cover shows her boobs just fine... lol and I got mine at Best Buy! :laugh3: me too. Total frontal if you know what Im saying:wink3: BTW: Thank you Fixed, for those pics. Thank you very much
June 19, 200818 yr Where did you get yours then? I bought mine from circuit city (free dress tshirt - woo!) and it had the same big black sticker over said boobs *smiles* I also noticed that at circuit city, the album has got an 'explicit' label attatched to it, whereas it hasn't at places like best buy. So Watson, the best deduction I can make, is that circuit city must like to keep very, very safe. M.
June 19, 200818 yr Hahaha I don't remember where they put the sticker on the album I bought. But I don't think they blocked the boobage on mine. :P

No label on my cd though...and the boobs WERE obscured by the sticker. :rolleyes:
June 19, 200818 yr im seriously not going where ever you went to get the album because... i want mine just perfect, unless you can peel off the sticker then there's nothing to lose.

I wanted to go to Circuit City for the t-shirt, but when I got there I discovered it had gone out of business!!! I was not very happy about that... luckily there's a Best Buy directly across the street. Oh, the wonders of living on Long Island... :laugh3:
June 19, 200818 yr Author It was like that at Target and at Starbucks. I live in Phoenix, which is trending fairly liberal nowadays. It is on the wrapper, so, yes, it comes off, but I still think it's not right because the cover is artwork. I might be more open to it if it were a X-rated picture of a supermodel, but it's a painting about the French Revolution and lady liberty! Oh well. AT least they can't change the awesome music! :)
