The Willie CD is censored, at least the cover is, not sure about the content.

You can pretty much count on the music being censored too.

I don't think so...Willie even mentions being "blunted" in the liner notes.

I can't say I never shop at Wally World 'cause it's sort of a necessary evil in this day and age but otherwise I avoid it at all costs.

Yeah, the Union I belong to is supposed to be boycotting it, yet if I were to stand outside one on a saturday I would see many many of my union "Brothers and Sisters" shopping there, that is basicaly why I gave in and go there once in a great while myself, Won't buy music there though, I do not like their policy of demanding censored versions.

He also came up with my all time favorite quote reguarding Modern Art.
"If you nail two things together that have never been nailed together before, some schmuck will buy it from you".

Walmart having censored versions is fine with me being that kids don't need to hear a lot of the cussing especially in hip hop.
In short, buy your kids cds at Walmart and yours somewhere else.
The censored versions have came in handy for me when I deejay parties where children are present.
That being said, I bought David Allan Coe's greatest hits cd there and he drops an N bomb in the song "If That aint Country"
Guess they can't get em all.

This is my own personal viewpoint but I don't believe in censorhip of any especially when it comes to records. Buffett's albums have their fair share of profanity on them but I don't recall ever seeing them labeled with a Parental Advisory sticker. That's pretty much the crux of it right there. I like to be the one that choses what I allow my kids to hear, NOT the PRMC. Hell, they're so out of touch they even slapped one of those labels on a Frank Zappa album because he gave them so much hell during those PRMC hearing several years back (along with John Denver and Donny Osmond). It goes to show they never even bothered listened to it because it was an album of instrumentals (Jazz From Hell).
