You have all seen Spencer Elden before. He was the baby in the swimming pool from Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album cover, swimming after a dollar bill.
Mr Elden, who is now 30, says he has been so traumatised by this that he is suing Nirvana for damages totalling some $2,250,000 He claims that the image amounts to child pornography and that his parents never signed a formal release for the photo to be used. As a consequence, he says his “true identity and legal name are forever tied to the commercial sexual exploitation he experienced as a minor which has been distributed and sold worldwide from the time he was a baby to the present day”.
Elden claims he “has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages” as a result of the album cover, including “extreme and permanent emotional distress” and “interference with his normal development and educational progress”.
The legal papers filed in California state that “The images exposed Spencer’s intimate body part and lasciviously displayed Spencer’s genitals from the time he was an infant to the present day.” His lawyer says that because of the inclusion of the dollar bill, which was superimposed after the photograph was taken, the minor seems “like a sex worker”.
How this claim makes any sense is beyond me. No one that sees Me Elden today would know that he was the baby and that it was his tickle-tackle on display. But I suppose the fact that his torso is covered with “Nevermind” tattoos could give it away.
Anyone else would be happy to say “I was the baby on the Nevermind album cover”. Mr Elden was happy to recreate the pose on other occasions. The image is obviously not pornographic.
Just another greedy cunt with dollar signs on his eyes.
Never mind the cunt.
