Wal-mart sued for selling dirty, filthy music

In the curiosities cabinet for today, we’ll note that wal-mart is getting sued because a CD by Evanescence it sells in its stores contained the f-word. As you know, wal-mart makes a point of selling “clean” versions of albums. The lawsuit points out that wal-mart apparently knew about the errant word because it was edited out on versions of the song that appeared on the wal-mart website. News article at Yahoo.

I’d rather see someone sue wal-mart for being the largest music retailer in the US with the most craptacular music selection.
