We use it every day it's not like they were sitting there doing their business. That one really cracks me up that's not offensive at all.
But if any of you are old enough to remember "All In The Family" and the first time Archie flushed the toilet it was the first toilet flush on TV in history.
That people would have actual normal bodily functions like just a normal thing like using the toilet would be offensive is absolutely laughable.
Considering the band is from Germany, many people there don't really see a lack of clothing as a direct problem. 🤔
Pretty much a major cultural "gap" between Germany (or some European countries in general) & the United States.
Crunch history when brining up school days: this show caught viewers by suprise in the final episode not only because of its controversial nature but it’s that the entirety before the final episode was another one of Japan’s light hearted anime harem shows at the time
Rize of the Fenix by Tenacious D with a suspiciously shaped Phoenix art in the cover lol
Mamonas Assassinas album, an extremely famous rock brazilian band with huge tatas on the cover
Dawn of the Black Hearts by Mayhem which is not nude but still controversial asf with the real dead body of the lead singer
It is mainly a CSA themed album if wondering
