Controversy

With the release of the 1994 single "Prison Sex" and its music video, directed and created by Adam Jones, MuchMusic called the band into question by deeming the video too graphic and offensive,cite web | url=http://www.exclaim.ca/index.asp?layid=22&csid=1&csid1=685 | title=Stepping Out From the Shadows | accessdate=2006-03-06 | year=2001 | author=Roman Sokal] later running an episode of its "Too Much 4 Much" series to discuss the video. MTV stopped airing the "Prison Sex" video after a few viewings — both due to a symbolic dealing with the sensitive subject of child abuse.
