This is outrageous. Nirvana really should just pay up.

uh

this story again...

topKEK

Lmfao dude had no issue with this until he needed money

they taught him well

every time he pushes this lawsuit harder, his baby dick gets smaller

WHERE WERE THE PARENTS!?

laughing all the way to the bank

jk they probably didn't get dick

he must need money for drugs yeah

i dont understand how this affects his life as an adult since nobody would even know that it's him as a baby on the cover, unless he tells them (which he does) so thats on him,

Universal can replace his image with one of my naked baby pics and and I'll take his place as the Nirvana dick baby, I don't mind

If this were a piece of concept art where he was living out the album cover into his entire adult life it would be brilliant

He’s going to lose this case and also make millions of people hate him in the process. Way to go.

This guy again...something like this is only possible within the laughable US legal system

Extreme ongoing psychic or emotional injury? Give me a break! No one would know that was him if he weren't calling attention to himself.

guess I'm the only one here who thinks it's super weird to put a picture of a naked baby on your album cover. idk what this guy's true intentions are, if he just wants money like people say or if he's actually suffering from this somehow but either way putting pictures of naked kids on your albums is super sus

lol this reminds me when I was a small child... I can't remember exactly but maybe I was like 3 or 4 I dunno... I was at my grandparents' and there was like a kiddie pool or blowup pool in the yard... don't remember if it was their yard or the neighbor's yard, but neighbor kid(s) were out there and I guess I was supposed to go play in the pool with them, but the expectation was that like I was just gonna take my clothes off and be naked to play in the pool...

so basically I, being my insecure self who had only just recently acquired any sense of self awareness, was like "fuck that I ain't going over there with no clothes on" and I cried and threw a fit so I didn't have to go play in the pool

“guess I'm the only one here who thinks it's super weird to put a picture of a naked baby on your album cover.”

Maybe. Cobain commented on this almost 30 years ago, so it’s probably been brought up multiple times here as well, discussed, conclusions reached, whatever, etc. I’ve always seen the cover same way as when a tot runs around after finding the nude or when changing a baby’s diaper. I understand if someone’s concerned, but there’s also no sexualising in the cover to begin with.

Also, this dude’s been trying to profit off being in the cover for years, telling everyone he can to try and get laid or money or whatever. So, is he trying to exploit the situation and people having been sexually abused? Sounds like it to me, but i don’t know what’s inside his head

After all those years this dude's still trying to catch that dollar

The cover was his own prophecy! How long can he hold his breath? Find out next time on… Dragon Ball Z

"millions of people (many of whom he does not know)"

LOL. This is the part that gets me: "he has in the past shown both approval and concern on the issue, even recreating the underwater image as an adult"

He is just lying about EXTREME ONGOING PSYCHIC INJURY for easy $$$, cool album title tho

Psychic injury seems like a very weird term to use here but maybe I am just dumb lol.
Article cracks me up given the context of them claiming what the album cover is and the image being on the page right below it.
If I remember right dude has done like 3 different pictures recreating it over the years so this whole situation just seems weird to me.

idk, the argument of "he was cool with it before but now he's not so that means he's full of shit" seems troublesome to me. could be true in this case but as a general rule you can be abused and not fully realize it until later on. it's like arguing that if a girl stayed with an abusive partner after the first incidence of abuse then she has no right to speak out about it later on

maybe just don't take or publicize pictures of naked kids that they obviously can't consent to

is it pornography, no, but at the same time what kind of mental process do you have to have to go hey lets hire someones naked baby for our album shoot?

then again theres always scorpions

on the other hand ive always been more concerned with the fact that, unless its just edited (but if it was edited there was no reason to leave the dick in there was there), they seem to have thrown an unable to swim infant into a pool, likely multiple times, to get a picture

smokey music guy makin valid points

I’ve never felt the image was being portrayed as sexual at all but it’s def put me off from listening to the album for years lol. I have a hard time believing that the dude is suffering as much as he says but also it is a little bit fucked up

I think you have to be a really weird puritan to look at the cover to Nevermind and think "this is literally child porn". This guy is making a real fool of himself.

Jesus fucking Christ, kid. You are on a fucking album cover that will be remembered 200 years from now.. Cry me a fucking river. It isn’t CP. This isn’t Virgin Killer by Scorpions where a naked prepubescent girl was exposed. This isn’t Blind Faith where a naked teen has her breast exposed. Not Sister by Sonic Youth either. He wants money because he is in debt or wasted his youth. He needs to get a job and shut up.

People are reading way too much into the consent part. Nudity isn’t inherently sexual. People sexualize it like they sexualize anything that looks phallic. It is meant to be a statement on consumerism. Nothing more lol.

Also, love your body. You’re beautiful naked.

If he cared about being sexual exploited. Why didn't he sue his dad instead/aswell? Am I missing something.

'This isn’t Virgin Killer by Scorpions where a naked prepubescent girl"

Why does their gender make a difference? Weird.

How is it supposed to be pornography? It's simple nudity.

i think there are smarter ways to capitalize and cash in on this than a lawsuit over fake emotional damage.

"get the dollar! get the dollar!"

gotta start 'em young
