Surely I'm not the only one who noticed this lovely gem of a photo of the day today. In my work environment - NFWS.

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.
