I changed this to the Unity Apps lens, since this is actually the
culprit here (I am presuming).

** Package changed: software-center (Ubuntu) => unity-lens-applications

Title:
  Software Center has no governance and consequently displays
  pornographic apps to end users

Status in Unity Applications Lens:
  New

Bug description:
  As mentioned here:

  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11744631#post11744631

  The software centre portion of the main application menu in Ubuntu
  11.10, which shows suggested software to download has no obvious
  governance, as it showed my wife Pornview today.

  This is totally unacceptable for a piece of software aimed at the mass
  market, especially when the application menu is one of the main ways
  to interact with the OS and when Ubuntu is actively displaying
  information to me from the internet. If I had searched for an app to
  download and had seen this app, fair enough, but to display it on my
  application menu just because I have opened the menu is outragous.

  This is huge failure of governance for the Ubuntu team and is
  incredibly disappointing. Some filters need to be added to the list of
  applications that are displayed to prevent this from happenig again.
  The fact that an app, called pornview was allowed, beggars belief, it
  is not as if the app developer was trying to masquerade their app as
  something else.

  A huge, huge disappointment.
