Scorpions Virgin Killer album cover leads to Wikipedia ban
Monday, December 8th, 2008
Six of the UK’s largest ISPs have been blocking access to a Wikipedia entry on The Scorpions’ album Virgin Killer. Why? Because the cover – which features a naked prepubescent girl – is on a child-pornography blacklist compiled by the Internet Watch Foundation.
But the story doesn’t end there – because of the way ISPs are blocking access to the site, millions of British internet users have been blocked from editing ANY Wikipedia pages. It’s to do with proxy servers, or something.
But we still blame The Scorpions.
