I've seen your penis since 1991 often and I do not care one bit at all. Grow up you ****ing loser, go get a proper job and pay your taxes and TV licence

He was so extremely and emotionally distressed that he tried to recreate the photoshoot numerous times throughout his life because he was so proud of being that baby on the most iconic album cover of all time :ROFL:

I remember the album cover from my youth, and never thought it was inappropriate.

However, looking at it now, I doubt these days such an album cover would fly
I remember a famous ad in the 1970s for Coppertone sunblock showing a spaniel puppy pulling at the panty of a small kid on a beach.

Interesting background here.
In the decades that followed, Elden appeared to celebrate his part in the classic cover, recreating the moment for the 10th, 17th, 20th, and 25th anniversaries of the album, though not naked. “It’s cool but weird to be part of something so important that I don’t even remember,” he said in 2016 in an interview with The New York Post, in which he posed holding the album cover at 25.

There was a time people had greater attention spans and music compilations came in the form of a album. These albums covers are generically the artwork for.....

You still reading? Ok.

..for the compilation designed to induce a story like emotion through listening to the entire 60-80 minutes of music. Songs where also generically longer and featured musical elements such as verses, bridges, instrumental solos and such like. Unlike the intro verse chorus verse chorus outro structure we're fed today.
Not to mention it had lyrics or knowledge about the band etc, you know, prei-nternet :D

Its sad. So much of what was around is now seen as corrupted by others.

Surely this guy should have sued his parents rather? I mean they were the ones who agreed to this?

When you have "Nevermind" tattooed across the front of your chest I somehow doubt you genuinely feel exploited.
I bet that little tottie saw hundreds of BJ's as a result of being on that cover....
