When asked if Stupor Ego would be re-pressed Tim Freedman replied:
"I want 'Jesus' gone. It offends people and death threats are no fun ... Mixed with this motive was my perception that people were buying [Stupor Ego] at gigs thinking it represented what they had just seen. They would get a shock when they got home and played it".
