Anyone who grew up in the '90s surely remembers a time when Barenaked Ladies' band name seemed incredibly naughty — a name discussed in hushed tones, sure to inspire laughter from peers and disapproving tsks from parents. They were famously barred from performing at a NYE concert outside Toronto City Hall because of concerns over the name.
Now, over 30 years later, concerns and confusion over the band name still exist — at least on the band's subreddit, where moderators are beginning people to please stop posting porn.
Moderator u/JoeDawson81 addressed the issue in a post yesterday (September 21) titled, "Absolutely No NSFW Content," which is now pinned to the top of r/barenakedladies. The message reads, "I can't believe people still post porn here as I discovered in the middle of the night. it's mind boggling how stupid people can be. Let me be clear, this is not a porn sub and if you are too stupid it's not my problem."
The moderator noted that a user has been banned from the subreddit after sharing porn. If more users continue to post adult content, moderators may instate a policy requiring posts to be approved before going live.
So let this be a warning to any horndogs descending upon r/barenakedladies: no graphic pictures of lovers in a dangerous time.
The band released their new album In Flight last week, and singer Ed Robertson spoke with Exclaim! about the 25th anniversary of the single "One Week."
