Actually, someone who finds that picture offensive may have nothing at all
wrong with his or her head other than another point of view. For example,
from a feminist perspective it could be argued that the image is offensive
because it objectifies a woman by isolating and focusing solely on her
breasts. (C'mon guys, if it was a pic of the shirt we would have seen the
whole shirt, and if the LEGO logo was the focus we would have gotten a more
straight on shot. And it goes without saying the identity of the person
wasn't the main point.) And I suspect Jeremy, John, et al have other reasons
for taking umbrage.
Me, I don't give a hoot one way or the other about this particular pic, but
in general I tend to be wary of the heavy hand of the censor.

Scarred me for life.
