You could also add in the photo of the bare chested African adolescent that was proposed as a suitable image for the 'Primate' article.

The above aside the problem with a NPOV is that it is really the dominate POV. That maybe OK when talking about a flat earth, but people from other parts of the world can have a fundamentally different POV on may subjects than that found amongst a predominately young white middle class western males. Not least of which will be the concept of 'free culture' perverted by Libertarians. These societies have practised 'free culture' of 100s of years and been exploited by the commercialism of that culture by western elites for the last 150 years.
