You can't censor what you don't know about. This picture got attention
because it was noticed. When someone notices the other stuff, they'll
make an issue of that. The picture is obviously of questionable taste,
where and how people draw lines seems to be very arbitrary. I am a far
right wing conservative. To me, a picture that exposes anything above a
woman's knee, elbow, lower then her neck, etc. is pornography. On the
far left side we have active pedophiles that see nothing wrong with
using a child for any purpose that brings them sexual stimulus. Then you
have the middle people who seem to change every day and every year. They
don't have values and they follow the Supreme Court Justice remarks who
sad, "I can't define pornography with words, but I know it when I see
it."
Certainly someone should have objected to the photo when it was first
placed on the album cover; questioned the photographer, printer, music
label and girl's parents. Apparently that didn't happen, so now they
resort to this.

I do see why they have censored it, it could have been offensive in
some way to certain people, but I think that there are many more
potentially offensive things on en.wikipedia than that. Fair enough, I
possibly shouldn't argue this because I haven't heard the full story,
but that is just my view.
