[edit] Warning
Printed on the inside of the sleeve:
"You must listen to this album with your tongue planted firmly in your cheek. If you don't have a sense of irony, or you are a piece of shit bigot, or a fundamentalist anything, return this album immediately, don't come to our shows, don't wear our t-shirts. Fuck off. If you're a parent who neglects, beats, or doesn't show your child love, know that we don't condone violence so don't waste our time in court while you try to explain to a jury how our music made your "happy & normal" child into a deranged lunatic.
Thank You"
"If you think we're rightwing, leftwing, feminists, sexists, tops, bottoms, gay or straight, I want to tell you right now that we are." (Quote seen on the bottom of the "Thanks" page in the CD cover sleeve)
[edit] Miscellanea
The term "Rock my hole" is originally from the song Clarrisa, and would be seen on the back of lead singer Little Jimmy Urine's coat many times, and the line would also be repeated in the song Wack! from their EP, Despierta Los Niños.
The line, "Who likes that song? Five year-old Pantyshot?" Pantyshot is a song from the bands' live album, Alienating Our Audience, and is in fact about looking-up a five year-old girl.
Due to the fact that almost every vowel has been replaced by an asterisk (*) on the back of the CD, a quote underneath the track list from comedian Lenny Bruce reads, "It's the suppression of the word that gives it the power, the violence, the viciousness." (This quote is also part of a longer stand-up act featured on the band's Crappy Little Demo, under the track name of "Niggers")
