I should note that I agree that such an image has no place as the photo of the day on the Wikimedia Commons, due to its erotic/pornographic nature. It is a very æsthetic work of art, and I found it appealing, but it has no place being featured as the front page image. And for the record, I am a heterosexual male, who opposes censoring pornography, erotica, partial pornography, etc. of all kinds[Censorship], but think there are contexts where they are inappropriate. Regards, Shlomi Fish [Censorship] - in fact, I would argue that such calls for censorship undermine a person's right on their body, and sexual freedom for both genders. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish http://www.shlomifish.org/ My Favourite FOSS - http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/favourite/ My Commodore 64 is suffering from slowness and insufficiency of memory, and its display device is grievously short of pixels.
