Michigan Bans Ralph Steadman and Beer


The Michigan Liquor Commission has banned a beer with rude name and a label by Ralph Steadman.

"The Michigan Liquor Commission has banned a beer because it is ‘detrimental to the public health, safety and welfare’.

"But the contents of each bottle isn’t what’s upset the sensitive officials. Instead they object to its rather offensive name.

"Raging Bitch, which sells 900,000 cases worldwide, was also censored because of its label which depicts a blood splattered rabid dog drawn by artist Ralph Steadman."

The Daily Mail has the rest here.
