Canadian Punkers Not Obscene: A Canadian jury has found two records by the punk rock group DayGlo Abortions not obscene. The jury ruled Thursday that the albums, “Feed Us a Fetus” and “Here Today Guano Tomorrow”--which are laced with four-letter words and describe sex, satanism, bestiality, rape, murder and suicide--are not obscene as charged under Canada’s criminal code. Band members, with names such as Cretin, Couch Potato and Jesus Bonehead, contend that the songs are parodies intended to shock.
