Get off your soapbox and have some consideration for the sensibilities
of others.  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.
