These images are not about free speech, they are just juvenile. Sneaking these into a screensaver as a joke reminds me of something a twelve-year old would snicker about. Beavis and Butthead material. Home vs work is not the issue either -- don't any of you folks have children? I'm supposed to sit there for an hour and watch each morphing screensaver image to ensure there is nothing I don't want my young daughter (or son) to see? Sure, I can just use a blank screen -- now that I know. It just never occurred to me that I would need to be on the lookout for this. -- Keith
