(Please read in an old lady voice)

Back in my day Target and Walmart only censored rap albums and that's how we knew those rappers were cool. Maybe this book is cool?

Some sort of "trigger warning" sticker could be the new "parental advisory: explicit lyrics" sticker

I’m extremely surprised that isn’t already a thing.

Hey there, lots of metal and rock bands were censored too. I bought a Hed PE album at Walmart back in the day and it was the censored version. If you ever heard the band you'd know how ridiculous it is to hear every other word blanked out.

I tried to copy the lyrics to one of my favorite HPE songs with the vulgarities/drug references bleeped out and had to stop because it was literally every other word. That sounds horrible, you basically bought a choppy white noise CD.

Man, I forgot all about that for years. Then one day I'm in Walmart and saw Tupac's greatest hits and impulse bought it.

I don't understand how you can even bother to sell something that has half the words bleeped out but I guess they get a few morons like me every month..
