Facebook Yanks Then Reinstates Nirvana Album Cover

Facebook reportedly yanked an image of Nirvana's album cover but today when we checked the fan page for the band, the profile picture was back up.

Facebook’s photo censors strike again: The latest victim mistake is happened on the official Nirvana fan page.

The iconic album cover of the naked floating baby chasing a dollar bill on a fishing line was allegedly pulled from the fan page yesterday, but today when we checked the photo was up and posted as the page’s profile picture.

The Nirvana fan page admin changed the profile photo to the “Nevermind” album cover to celebrate the album’s 20th anniversary and reissuance this fall.

Facebook didn’t issue an apology for pulling the photo, possibly because it hasn’t yet confirmed whether someone at the company made the mistake or whether an outside party might be responsible.
