House of Blues and their parent company, Disney have forced Coheed and Cambria to not sell a particular shirt at the March 7th stop of their ongoing tour. The reason, according to a tweet from the band, is a "bad word."

While it's not that shocking to see House of Blues and Disney censoring their performers - having already shut down Screeching Weasel, Gallows, Machine Head and others - but how generally innocuous the word in question is.
The word in question? "Damn."

If you're checking, this is a word that wasn't even enough to warrant being mentioned in George Carlin's seven words, nor is it too obscene for the FCC.
