| - I'll Never Play In China Again is a rock album by British musician Paul McCartney, released on September 11, 2006. The album gets its title from McCartney's dislike of Chinese people, his anti-fur sentiments, and from a song called "I'll Never go to Japan again", which was released in the polemical album Ringo Needs Some Money. Politicians in the United States have accused this album of blasphemy and of insulting the U.S. government, especially in the songs "Oh, Nixon" and "Heart Attack". They also believe that McCartney is trying to mock the United States by releasing the album on the same date that marks 5 years since the terrorist attacks of Osama bin Laden on the World Trade Center. McCartney has tried time and time again to reason with them. "It is the only available date," he stated, "September 10th was taken by Christina Aguilera's "Slut", the 9th was taken by Kanye West's Don't Care About Black People, and the 12th by Britney's Oops...I Gave Birth Again. I opposed releasing the album on the 11th, but it's either then or until next year." American authorities, however, since they know what people think better than the people themselves, say McCartney is lying and is siding with terrorists. Since July, many radio stations took to banning a few of the songs in the album despite its not being released yet. MTV producers, who want to make sure that teenagers watch only friendly, educational, harmless, and socially productive shows, have banned the song "Canadians Are Fuckin' Seal Killers" because of its use of the word Fuck. In a recent news edition, MTV had this to say: "The language in McCartney's latest album is obscene, and we at MTV never broadcast any foul language. We'll broadcast mindless violence, rebelliousness, drug use, alcohol abuse, sexual content, gore, and raping killing of innocent people, but we'll never broadcast foul language! We care about the safety of America's youth." "Canadians Are Fuckin' Seal Killers" is also banned in Canada, along with the South Park movie. Similarly, the Chinese have banned "Chinese Apartheid" and "Boycott Beijing". In these songs, the former Beatle calls for a boycott of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and repeatedly refers to the Chinese as "chinks". McCartney said he would not allow the 2008 Olympics to be held in a place where animals were boiled, tortured, and skinned alive for fashion. Chinese workers in the fashion industry have claimed they weren't boiling the animals to kill them, they were simply "giving them a bath" - but a guy named Yu overheated the water. Many Canadians and Chinese alike have stated, ironically, that they will never listen to Paul McCartney's music again. Despite other controversies also caused by the album (particularly with the man and with Lou Dobbs, Paul McCartney successfully released the album featuring the following tracks: 1.
* Leave My Heather Alone (McCartney) 2.
