No Nudes Is Good Nudes: Wal-Mart Refuses 'Daily Show' Book
http://www.local6.com/news/3838444/detail.html?treets=orlpn&tid=2655361369813&tml=orlpn_12pm&tmi=orlpn_12pm_3170_10550210212004&ts=H

<snip>
The company decided this week not to offer shoppers copies of the best-selling book "America (The Book)," written by Jon Stewart and "The Daily Show" writers.
The retail giant canceled its order for the books when executives got wind of the photo in the book. The picture features the nude, aging bodies, each capped with the superimposed head of a Supreme Court justice.
The book -- a mock school textbook -- parodies the American government in typical "Daily Show" fashion. The page facing the nude photos has cutouts of the justices' robes, complete with a caption asking readers to "restore their dignity by matching each justice with his or her respective robe."

4. My son took ours to school and is sharing with his classmates
I haven't got to look at it yet, but he says there are swear words in it too. Wal-mart would have found a "reason" no matter what was in that book.
