Dear Queenie,
You are a frothing imbecile.

Apparently, Rammstein's Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da has been indexed in Germany. I'm not sure what this means, as I'm unfamiliar was German law, but based on the context of the news, it seems that "Pussy," "Liebe Ist Fur Alle Da," and "Ich Tu Dir Weh" have been labeled obscene by the authorities. Therefore, Rammstein is prohibited from performing those songs live, and the album has been removed from stores in Germany and can only be ordered by an adult with ID from an employee of the store. Rumor has it they might be banned from performing any of the songs live.
Forgive me, but where does the surprise part come in? Rammstein has been singing about kinky, deviant sex, necrophilia, cannibalism, and incest since the beginning. "Heirate Mich." "Rein Raus". Mein Teil." "Mein Teil." "Bueck Dich." "Spiel Mit Mir." "Weisses Fleisch." So, why are these songs so much more egregious? Because they actually mentioned snatches and tackle sans artistic varnish and admitted they enjoyed sex? Who knew that singing in English about the carnal boing boing festival made it extra strength dirtybadwrong? Why is "Ich Tu Dir Weh" more scandalous than "Bestrafe Mich? Why is "Liebe" more sordid than "Laichzeit"?
And why has it taken this long for the panties of the authorities to reach critical mass in the moral outrage waddage? The video for "Pussy" was released in September, and the album has been readily available for three weeks. Why now? Are there elections in Germany at present that might give this a political cast? I find the timing of this declaration convenient since the tour is set to kick off in less than twenty-four hours.
If the entire album is indexed, this clearly present a huge problem for the tour. How can you support an album if you're barred from showcasing it?
