new sticker right next to “explicit lyrics”: “may cause seizures”

First it was Pokemon and now it’s Sean Paul:

Gayle…was suffering as many as 10 grand mal seizures a day, despite being treated with medications designed to control them.

Eighteen months ago, she began to suspect that music by reggae and hip-hop artist Sean Paul was triggering some of her seizures. She recalled being at a barbecue and collapsing when the Jamaican rapper’s music started playing, and then remembered having a previous seizure when she heard his music.

Her suspicions were confirmed on a visit to the [Long Island Jewish Medical Center] last February, when she played Paul’s hit “Temperature” on her iPod for doctors. Soon after, she suffered three seizures.

Who’s going to spearhead the campaign to get the new stickers on the CDs and “[explicit lyrics]” in the track names on iTunes? Cindy Lou Hensley McCain??

(Too much of a stretch on that reference?)
