Supermarkets baulk at slightly less than usual imagery, citing lack of synergy with their key demographic (probably).
Morrisons, Asda, Sainsburys and Tesco (aka WorldCorp UK PLC) have all deemed the Jenny Saville painting adorning Journal For Plague Lovers to be too potentially 'disturbing' to their hive of vacuous drones.....sorry, customers, and will only be taking the album in a blank slipcase. 
James Dean Bradfield argued that the apparently bloody faced image was down to the artist's "brushwork.....If you're familiar with her work, there's a lot of ochres and browns and reds and browns and perhaps people are looking for us to be more provocative than we are being.......You can have lovely shiny buttocks and guns everywhere in the supermarket on covers of magazines and CDs, but you show a piece of art and people just freak out".
The campaign starts here.....everyone show your support for PAILOTTKCANM - Provocative Artwork Is Less Offensive Than The Kaiser Cheifs And Nuts Magazine!!!
