> Heard this on the radio this morning: a major Christian radio network

> CDs were mislabelled at the factory and shipped along with the religious
> ones.  Unfortunately the itinerant CDs were by the Dead Kennedys.  A
> spokesman for the radio network said, "This is what happens whenever
> people get around machines."  The CBS newsreader, with masterful
> understatement, said, "The Dead Kennedys CDs included songs such as, `I
> Kill Children,' which some Christian listeners may not find inspirational."
> The aforementioned song begins with the line, "God told me to skin you
> alive."
