The album was a subject of great controversy because of a poster inserted in the original record sleeve. The poster, H.R. Giger's Landscape #XX, or Penis Landscape, was a painting depicting rows of penises in anal intercourse. The band was brought to trial for distributing harmful matter to minors, and though eventually winning the case, Biafra's Alternative Tentacles was driven almost to bankruptcy. Only through the support of fans was the label able to stay alive. Biafra came out as a champion of free speech, and was one of the most active opponents of the PMRC.
