2) Moral Harassment, as Rui defines it, is not harassment under the law in the US. We do not have the right to act indecently in situations where it imposes on the rights of others to not view our acts. Put another way, what you do in your bedroom is pretty much your business, but you don't have the right to do "your business" where others would have no choice but to watch you.
When the morals or definitions of indecency of others are imposed on me, they're morally harassing me. I don't care that the law doesn't cover it _yet_. I an only hope it does one day.
4) Free speech does *not* protect you from the willful display of inappropriate conduct in the workplace - by anyone's definition of inappropriate.
Conduct is not speech. But including perfectly normal words on speech is, no matter what people like or not. And it is protected everywhere in the USA, even while wearing a t-shirt reading: Fuck This Court while on trial.

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.
