I mean really? /facepalm
This is the kind of imagery I have no desire to see on the front page of
Commons. I'm a very liberal person, but, this makes me not want to even
allow my MOTHER to use Commons.
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.

[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.
