[[Streisand effect]] ?
Maybe I'm an old fuddy-duddy, but me, I prefer a [[Herostratus]] reference over a Streisand one.
Thank you. I really don't like the Streisand reference but I hadn't thought of the more classic reference.

Personally I think the album cover is tasteless. But in the eternal struggle between bad taste and hypocisy, I usually find bad taste less offensive.
Full agreement. A tasteless attempt by the record company to sell more records. But thats why it's all the more informative and interesting as part of the article: I especially thought the quotes showing how the bands opinion of the image evolved over time.
But child porn? please. Whomever that image /arouses/ belongs on a sex offender registry. It's a picture of a naked kid, whoptie do. … But thats an opinion I couldn't have formed without actually seeing it. I'm grateful that Wikipedia saved me the trip to the record store to find out what this UK organization found so objectionable.
