For everyone who felt that the picture ought to be burned, you'd probably like this: Degenerate art - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

" In December 1938 Goebbels and Hans Hoffmann, the photographer and unofficial artistic advisor of Hitler, began a campaign to burn all works remaining in the Köpenicker Strasse depot. By the time a secret bonfire was set to destroy that which was deemed worthless, the number of objects had shrunk to 1,004 paintings and sculptures and 3,825 drawings, water colors and graphics."

and for Grimmlock for future reference:

As long as we're discussing censorship, I'd like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Banned Books Week!
