Title: Face Palm X 1,000
Post by: Snaggletiger on August 25, 2021, 10:17:21 AM
The naked baby photographed on Nirvana’s breakthrough album "Nevermind" is now accusing the band of being child pornographers, claiming they told him to "Come As You Are" without consent.
Spencer Eldon, now 30, filed a lawsuit against Kurt Cobain’s (https://nypost.com/2021/06/03/nyc-co-op-with-signatures-of-rock-royalty-asks-2-8m/) estate and the band’s surviving members, saying the grunge pioneers violated federal child pornography statutes (https://nypost.com/2021/08/06/dave-grohl-and-foo-fighters-troll-westboro-baptist-church-again/) and sexually exploited him.
Eldon also said he has suffered "lifelong damage" from having his naked body plastered on the triple-diamond selling album, and claims neither he nor his guardians consented to the naked photoshoot, according to the federal suit.
The band, photographer, and record labels "intentionally marketed Spencer’s child pornography and leveraged the shocking nature of his image to promote themselves and their music at his expense," the suit alleges.

The plaintiff, who was four months old at the time of the 1991 underwater photoshoot, also claims he was forced to engage in "commercial sex acts," and that the band went back on an alleged promise to conceal his genitals on the album cover.
"The permanent harm he has proximately suffered includes but is not limited to extreme and permanent emotional distress with physical manifestations, interference with his normal development and educational progress, lifelong loss of income earning capacity, loss of past and future wages, past and future expenses for medical and psychological treatment, loss of enjoyment of life, and other losses to be described and proven at trial of this matter," the document read.
In 2016, 25-year-old Eldon recreated the cover (https://nypost.com/2016/09/23/nirvana-baby-recreates-iconic-album-cover-25-years-later/) fully clothed to pay homage to the hit record, which blasted indie rock to the mainstream with hits like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Lithium."

"I said to the photographer, ‘Let’s do it naked.’ But he thought that would be weird, so I wore my swim shorts," Elden said of the shoot at the time.

In other words:  I have cashed in as much as I can on being the kid in that picture and now I have blown it all on hookers and blow.

We know they exist, but far to often we cannot put a name to them.
Thank you for putting a name to ignorance. I'm sure there is a Biden sticker somewhere near him.

If my dick was as tiny as Spencer’s, I’d be suing some motherfuckers, too.

Maybe we could get a class-action going.
