Please stop running R. Kelly ads and promoting the work of child rapists.

I've been a premium customer for about eight months now, and I'm generally very happy with the service. However, I've seen several ads on the landing page of the desktop app featuring R. Kelly smoldering among the bodies—not including the faces, obviously—of naked women, who may actually be naked girls, because as The Village Voice reports, that's what Mr. Kelly has so frequently raped.

I'd like you to not run these ads at all—I also don't want to see ads for a new Roman Polanski or Woody Allen movie, or a Chris Brown album—but, barring that, at least give paying customers the option to indicate ads that they find offensive, like Facebook does. If I continue to be shown ads encouraging me to listen to the new album of a child rapist, I will cancel my subscription, stop using Spotify altogether, and send my money to a company that doesn't promote the work of child rapists.

Please do the right thing; there are surely an innumerable amount of artists out there who aren't abhorrent, repulsive human beings and who will offer you the same amount of money to promote their music. However, considering the content of Mr. Kelly's music and his primary taste in sexual object, his music is, technically, pro-child rape, and I cannot in good conscience support an organization that supports it.

Great music (or a great app) is not a call for a free Rape A Child card, let alone *several* of them (20+, by the Village Voice's count).

This was discussed in another topic here, but as I pointed out there, was R Kelly not found not guilty of all 14 allegations against him in a court of law? 

That's beside the point really, however if you do have a premium/unlimited subscription you can hide those "Music Announcements" by going to Edit/Spotify > Preferences > Music Announcements > Hide on Discover Page and restart the client - they should disappear.

Do you have any idea how many artists you'd have to censor based on morality?
