Wal-Mart Tweaks Willie Nelson's new Reggae album cover

[Ernesto]

The cover art of Countryman, released Tuesday, features green marijuana leaves over a red and yellow background and looks similar to a large pack of rolling papers.


However, for those looking to snap up the CD at Wal-Mart's famously rolled back prices, the cover features a palm tree in place of the offending leaves, a change made by Universal Music Group Nashville out of deference to the retailing giant's strict guidelines (aka censorship) with regards to lyrics and packaging.

1. Too bad Willie doesn't have the option of boycotting

from what I understand, it's the record companies that control where the darn things are sold.

2. But anyone can buy a gun right next to the doctored album cover.

So glad they have their priorities in order.:wtf:

4. And, after you get your guns, you can go buy some toys from the children's

And, after you get your guns, you can go buy some toys from the children's section that, oddly enough, happens to be right next door. *g*

5. Something tells me the genuine article will have more value

as a collectors item! Just say no to Wallmart. Does Willy have a more direct marketing channel? Can you buy from a blue store on the internet?
