Mindless Self Indulgence has apparently managed to both offend "conservative Christian organizations" and annoy Apple's iTunes.

The band opted to file their music under "Religious/Inspirational" due to what the band described as a "devout fan base and cult-like following." Because iTunes translated this as "Christian/Gospel," a number of Christians purchased the material - despite being marked as offensive - without hearing it first. In fact, the album reached #27 on the Christian/Gospel charts as a result.

Those same Christians - apparently annoyed by the lyrical content of such inoffensive titles as "Pussy All Night," "2 Hookers And An 8 Ball" and "Panty Shot" - filed complaint with iTunes. The colorfully named vocalist, Jimmy Urine explained:

It was iTunes, not us, that interpreted "religious" to mean Christian/Gospel. What is offensive to some people is obviously inspirational to others. To our fans this IS inspirational music. I have no intention of changing the genre listing of this album.

No word on whether anyone has scheduled an iPod burning in their town square.

"
two hookers and an 8 ball sat quietly in the pool hall
under the eye of God rethinking the profession they had.
holes, holes, silly little holes.
it's not size of the fist, but the orifice.

I want to call the Christians and tell them what was done in our dungeon when MSI was played over the loud speakers.

It's like Pavlov's dog when MSI is mentioned. I want to kick someone's ass.

Who pays to download a random band that you know nothing about, including sound?

This is funny. "Bitches" is still a terrible song, though.

One of my co-workers is a huge fan, they are like his favorite band. He is one of those people who basically thinks everyother kind of music that he doesn't likes sucks or is gay.
This still makes me laugh and I will definitely tell him about it.
