[edit] Cunt?

so where does it say the word Cunt on the front cover ? I have looked all over my copy of Incesticide and it does not say Cunt.

Although I have to say Kurt cobain may have been a bit of a C**t by releasing some of Nirvana's best songs on an odds and sods record of rareties and b-sides.

It's not a printed word. It's how the larger figure's limbs are positioned on the cover. The right forearm and hand holding the flowers form the C. The curved thighs form the U. The diagonal right calf along with any of the crossing vertical parts form the N. Finally, the left forearm (horizontal) and calf (vertical) cross to form the T. --jh51681 08:29, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I couldn't find anyone on Google even commenting on seeing the word, let alone evidence that Kurt deliberately drew it in. So I changed the statement to say he did do the painting, but that the word is hypothetical. Rpresser 08:57, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

well i can't really see "cunt" at all. if you smoke some crack and cross your eyes over maybe?

i added a picture to the page wit hit highlighted to show it, but somebody removed it. It is clearly there, in the bones. Violask81976 21:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia guidelines explicitly forbid the inclusion of conjecture or personal discovery. If it can't be cited from a reliable source, it cannot be included in the article. See: WP:OR, WP:V, and WP:RS. -- ChrisB 18:09, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
What'sa bigger citation then the album art itself?
You can't cite album art. If you see something in a piece of art, that is your opinion. The opinion is not itself contained in the piece of art. If someone of note asserted it, then the citation needs to be to the person who made the assertion, and that person's statement must meet Wiki guidelines: WP:A (particularly WP:RS and WP:OR). I don't see that any of that applies here. -- ChrisB 01:45, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] meaning

I should like to know what the word "Incesticide" actuall means

Nothing. It's a portmanteax of incest and insecticide, so is a rather nasty thing if it did exist. ;). Morwen - Talk 17:55, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you could really call it nasty if the intent is to destroy incest in the same manner that insecticide destroys insects. Still, not pleasant subject matter. — TheJames 21:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
