Justin Beiber sucks, but making death threats against his fans is utter bullshit.

LOL.
Apparently the girl is a relative of someone working with/at the record company.
Personally I see it as nudity/art rather than porn.

That sleeve has been debated here a few times. According to the standards in Europe at that time the sleeve was not that special. You could see it hanging on the wall's or windows of record-shops. I bought the album the same week it was released.
The parents of the girls were consulted and permission was asked of both the parents and the girl. I agree with Wyvern and S; it is a perfect illustration of the album title and I see no porn in it but indeed art.

Didn't state my opinion yet Henri, don't mix me with Wyvern, he's the bald guy 
I completely agree with Hawk. In that time period there was nothing wrong with the album cover. There were a bunch of albums that had nude on them, and there was no talk yet about child porn back than.

You are right! I corrected it a few seconds ago. Just before your reaction. So you are the guy with all the hair?
I find it fascinating to see such differences in reaction to that sleeve. It must be the cultural differences between the US and Europe.
Like, this would be an upto date album cover !!!

Please read comments;
"The album cover may seem misleading for the uninitiated today. The radio show was called "The Naked Vicar Show", which was the title of the original 'best of' LP (on vinyl), and featured the Vicar only, in his wicker chair. Of course, this second album was titled 'Son of...'. So the cover is a piece of clever humour in that context. "

The world is a different place today, recently in Aus. there was an artist (Henson) banned for photographing a 13 year old girl even though the mother gave consent.
I remember the Naked Vicar show btw. and there definitely would be controversy over that cover today.

It's a rather iffy album cover by today's North American standards I suppose, but if it's illegal, then so are parent's pictures of their kids first baths. I find nothing pornographic about that album cover. It's tasteful and done for an artistic reason.
And yes, the cover they replaced it with is undoubtedly worse!

Glad to see some more people agreeing that the cover was tasteful nudity and do match the title of the album. Besides it beats a Manowar cover with guys in fur any given day
Hey Gert what's the problem with bald people?, it's just skull nudity

Don't say that too loudly, I think these days here you can't take a photo of your kids at a beach or swimming pool.
"..but officer, I was only taking pics of the topless women..."

It seems like most of the stories I've seen coming out of Australia in the past 1-2 years are the Government censoring bloody everything. Fallout 3, movies, possible internet censorship, and now this other controversy you've posted. I haven't followed your country's politics closely but it seems like the conservative powers that be in your country have gone mad.
Are any of these things still an issue with the new Labour PM or has she laughed it off?

As you probably know it's public pressure that will force a govt. to implement change. Things that get banned are just news headlines, they stopped a Carcass or Cannibal Corpse CD shipment at customs, it made big news then a few days later the CD's were on the shelves but the news didn't report that - sensationalism.
SCHOOLBOYS have been banned from a pool changeroom because adult male swimmers are afraid they'll be falsely labelled paedophiles.
The above was not a result of any govt.

Fair enough on many of those counts then. I guess I should have said political culture. The ACB making Fallout 3 essentially illegal in Australia was insane though and that was "government."

I totally agree man.
There is a big kafuffle over govt. talks of censoring the internet, it's mainly for the benefits of what kids will see but still we don't want to end up like China or the Middle East.
Pakistan has banned websites but check this:
Pakistan No.1 in the world in pornographic internet searches

Not much of a shocker, though I would have predicted Saudi Arabia myself.
Plus, Pakistan, like Turkey and other Muslim nations, have a much greater percentage of males aged 15-25 than the west does.
