JC CHASEZ SLAMMED BY SCHIZOPHRENIA CAMPAIGNERS

'N Sync singer JC Chasez has infuriated campaigners trying to dispel stereotypical myths about the mentally ill, by calling his solo album Schizophrenic.

The singer can be seen in a straightjacket with his hair in a mess and a menacing look in his eyes on the CD sleeve, and his decisions have angered those trying to inform the public about the disease.

Schizophrenia Digest publisher Bill MacPhee tells Page Six, "BMG Zomba and Jive have ignored the U.S. Surgeon General's call on the entertainment industry to help eliminate stigma to address the public health crisis that exists."

"This album grossly misrepresents the nature of the disease. It is important for us all to understand the real symptoms and real implications of the disease. Ignorance will only stall advances for current and future disease sufferers."

JC immediately responded, "I apologize to anyone I may have offended with the title and cover of my album. I took artistic license ... as it was in reference to the wide range of music styles in the album."

What's new yet someone else bitching in the world you cant say a damn hing these days without someone complaining if it was my album I would keep the title and tell them to F**k off

It's an interesting discussion - Artistic license and freedom vs. an artist who obviously knows nothing about this disease and is willing to (unknowingly) perpetuate negative stereotypes about it.

Remember that it is the job of people in these organizations to remind the public about the true facts of disease. They're probably overreacting, but what they're doing isn't entirely awful.

In fact, their complaining is good for both sides. It buys press for the album, and helps get the Schizophrenia group's message out. Many of these complaints are engineered this way.

I do hate Chasez, though. ;)

In other news, no one is meant to believe that babys can smoke, or swim, as is portrayed on VH's 1984, and Nirvana Nevermind
