Kurt Cobain has caused controversy in his hometown of Aberdeen, Washington by swearing in a park.
Residents have complained about a new granite memorial in an unofficial neighbourhood park (whatever that is), which features eight quotes from the late Nirvana frontman. The one causing problems says: "Drugs are bad for you. They fuck you up". The stone was donated by Grays Harbor Monument, while local man Tori Kovach selected the quotes.
Aberdeen City Councilman Jerry Mills told The Daily World: " is a word that should be done away with. We paint over it every time it's on graffiti. It's inappropriate".
Kovach said: "To me, the syringe is more offensive than the F word. I didn't include that quote because I enjoy and am comfortable with controversy. It wasn't for that reason. It was a message from Kurt and a very powerful message".
The city's mayor, Bill Simpson said that the Parks Board would now decide whether or not "fuck" should be removed from the memorial. Confirming that the offending work could easily be sandblasted off, Grays Harbour Monuent's manager Jerry Myers said: "In the granite industry, it'd be a bleep. There's about a 50-50 mix of people who care and those who don't".
