Mindless Self Indulgence has apparently managed to both offend "conservative Christian organizations" and annoy Apple's iTunes.

The band opted to file their music under "Religious/Inspirational" due to what the band described as a "devout fan base and cult-like following." Because iTunes translated this as "Christian/Gospel," a number of Christians purchased the material - despite being marked as offensive - without hearing it first. In fact, the album reached #27 on the Christian/Gospel charts as a result.

Those same Christians - apparently annoyed by the lyrical content of such inoffensive titles as "Pussy All Night," "2 Hookers And An 8 Ball" and "Panty Shot" - filed complaint with iTunes. The colorfully named vocalist, Jimmy Urine explained:

It was iTunes, not us, that interpreted "religious" to mean Christian/Gospel. What is offensive to some people is obviously inspirational to others. To our fans this IS inspirational music. I have no intention of changing the genre listing of this album.

No word on whether anyone has scheduled an iPod burning in their town square.
