Commons is not censored.  It&#39;s a beautiful scene and it would be expected that the an imaginary tribal member would not have the American sensitivities to toplessness.  Some images may offend.  Some articles may offend.  We&#39;re not going to compromise our core values just to try to close a &quot;gap&quot; that some feel is such a big issue, if it even exists.<br>

    I mean really? /facepalm<br>
    <br>
    This is the kind of imagery I have no desire to see on the front
    page of Commons. I&#39;m a very liberal person, but, this makes me not
    want to even allow my MOTHER to use Commons. <br>
