Allow me to disagree. While it would be hard for me to actually see
this Futunari image get to the front page (I'm prudish that way), I
actually "learned" something from it (had no clue what Futunari was
all about, now I know).

Which is far from being the case with that "On the edge - free world
version" image, which brought me absolutely nothing except a rather
puzzled wtf?
