What fresh HELL is this?

This, dear readers, is the REAL cover the up-and-coming Black Eyed Peas album, The E.N.D. WE KNOW. It is HORRENDOUS. Can you iMAgine the record label board meeting where they chose this?

"What we need is a digitally rendered picture of Fergie 'Fergie' Black Eyed Peas with green, rotten fish scales, hollow eyes like a cadaver and a bald Britney head."

We're hoping (or maybe not) that this is something to do with the fact that their latest song/video seem to be one HUGE video for HD Television and that this is just a continuation of it... or um we have no idea.

Up until this point we thought THIS (below) was the cover, and to be honest, it's a hot mess but it's a BIG improvement on the one above.
