Twenty years later, Nirvana is still managing to cause controversy.

The band, whose Nevermind album made waves when it was released in 1991 because of its cover art which featured a naked baby boy floating in a pool, has run into censorship yet again, this time on its Facebook page.

After product shots of the album (which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this fall) were uploaded to Nirvana’s Facebook page, the social networking company removed the photo citing a violation of its Terms of Use.

“Facebook does not allow photos that attack an individual or group, or that contain nudity, drug use, violence or other violations of the Terms of Use,” the notice read.

For his part, the baby in the photograph, Spencer Elden — who is now also 20 years old — has no problem with the revealing shot.

Christ. That policy's pretty much quite insane if it can be interpreted to this degree.

14-year olds know about the humble penis.

They might even have seen one or two.
