Of the postings on this topic, this was the most useful (actually giving the "offending" screensaver). The original author's question wasn't about freedom of speech, the merits of political correctness, or changing jobs-- it was about identifying packages distributed in FC2 that contain "offensive material". You folks are missing the boat! While it is true that standards for "offensive material" are not universal, I think most folks understand what is appropriate and what is not in the workplace for most US-based companies. If you (meaning the entire community) want to make Linux a serious option for corporate computing, you need to take these sorts of questions seriously and not blow them off as "overly prudish". Large corporations take sexual harassment claims very seriously and having screen-savers with a penis floating around doesn't do the "ready for corporate computing" image of Linux any good.
