That's crazy, but knowing how those high-end entertainment companies do things, it's hardly shocking. My guess the main reason has something to do with how popular they are. If Be Your Own Pet were going to sell like the forementioned 50 cent, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, etc then I'm sure those songs would be acceptable, because who cares if it's violent? They are making money. Which is all kind of funny really, because if their concern was with protecting the youths of America, then it would make more sense to censor the MORE popular artists since they are reaching more kids. But like I said, the idea that it's actually about the money is not a huge shocker.
