Following last week's primary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, US, and some other (not worth mentioning the song or artist here) songe being banned, Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks' has been 'banned' from some US radio stations.

Well, the song was released in 2010, and it was ABOUT the Columbine school shootings, so a) I don't think Foster the People are worrying about their chart position right now and b) this was no mere coincidence/something that can only now suddenly be seen to be in bad taste.
Anyone remember when Massive Attack were forced to be called 'The Massive' after September 2001?
