C'mon people, Kanye West's banned-at-Walmart art for upcoming album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, a painting of a hairy brown monster* and a white angel with well-endowed kanines has some nip, but it is nip made out of oil paint. Where are we America, when this is Not Safe For Work?

*No one wants to venture that the knee-jerk enthusiast's dread stems from the raciness of this cover, and that it has as much to do with skin tones as the shapes the paint is depicting, right?
