Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown debut at #1 on the Billboard charts with 215,000 copies sold in 3 days despite not being available at Walmart stores which is pretty damn impressive — No Walmart and only a 3 day total (they released it last Friday as opposed to on a Tuesday like most releases) — I’m anxious to see what its full week’s total is going to be.
Walmart won’t carry it because they refuse to carry any album with a Parental Advisory on it and Green Day refuses to make an edited version. Wasn’t that the whole point of the Parental Advisory sticker? To inform buyers that their was adult content on the album?
That’s so lame that Walmart has this policy. Especially when an example lyric from 21st is “So don’t you fuck me around.” It’s not like it’s some rapper talking about wanting to fuck a bunch of bitches or something of that sort.
The fact that they will sell rated R movies that are full of profanity and nudity, but put a retarded restriction on music is something that should be stopped. I take a dump on you, Walmart, and wish you had a face to be stabbed.
