Album Cover
The original album cover featured a stylized, cartoon depiction of politician R. Budd Dwyer as he famously shot himself on live television. When it was prepared for release by Volcom, the label's manager demanded the cover be changed, and that the band change their name to something less offensive (hence the switch from Camp Kill Yourself to Camp and later CKY). The next, more well-known, cover features a photograph of lead guitarist Chad I Ginsburg performing his trademark 'bitch toss', in which he throws his guitar 360 degrees around his back and catches it when it returns. The photo was taken on the 1999 Warped Tour.
