Additionnaly, I think we could go forward setting a couple of categories of potentially offensive pictures, such as
- sex
- violence
- nudity
- ...
Let's not forget images of: * Elections * Demonstrations * Medical procedures * Diseases * Weaponry/bombmaking * Cracking (in the computer cracking sense) * Drug paraphenalia * Bioagents * Chemical Agents * Nuclear and Atomic Manufacturing / Processing Equipment * Religious symbols * American Presidents (it seems to really chafe some people to look at GW) * WWII-era paraphenalia (France/Germany especially)
I'm not being facetious, unfortunately. I see and read a lot of non-US media (mostly really) and it's amazing the number of things people find offensive.
Oh, forgot about animals too: * Spiders * large cats hunting and feeding * Any insect up close * Snakes
* slaugtherhouses
I am sure each culture is able to add to the list.
I just looked on the W for a page about that, but only came up with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Profanity Maybe there is a page for image classification based on cultural/political sensitivities.
