English Wikipedia is already serving more than _a million_ 'damaged' page views per-day*. I'm personally a bit tired of browsing Wikipedia being shock image roulette.
Not even browsing, sometimes.
An aside...
Sometime in late December last year, we served up something on the order of 30,000 full-page images of a mutilated penis, on the - protected - front page. (You can even see the momentary blip in the traffic stats - I have a screenshot somewhere) We responded to that one about as quickly as reasonable - under a few minutes - but we still no doubt caused a good deal of discomfort to unsuspecting readers... frankly, I'm amazed we didn't get more flak over it.
