Three cheers for Walmart which took a stand in not selling Green Day’s newest CD “21st Century Breakdown” because Green Day refused to offer a CD edited for language and content.
Green Day is crying censorship.
Censorship? So should Walmart be required to sell anything and everything with no regard for content? Does Walmart not have the right to choose what CDs it sells? Or should it be required to sell everything single CD available. Geez, I guess Green Day would have no problem with a “back room” at Walmart for porn DVDs. After all, refusing to do so is censorship since Walmart only sells G, PG, PG-13, and R rated movies.
Billie Joe Armstrong, the lead singer for Green Day, said, “You feel like you’re in 1953 or something.”
No, Billie, we feel like it’s 2009 where a company actually has the nerve to refuse to carry your unedited CD and you’re whining about it.
Walmart 1, Green Day 0
Email Walmart and thank them for their stand.
