During the hearing, William Gaines was shown the cover of one
of comics showing a severed head being held by the hair. When
asked if he thought the cover appropriate for the youth of
our country, his answer was (paraphrasing): if the head was
held higher so you could see the blood dripping, then
probably not but as it is it's fine. Of course, all this is
fairly tame compared to Sin City.
