That is a good point.
Censorship and individual sense of morality aside, it may just be that someones unique sense of humor is to include words that may be offensive to some people. There is no good reason for such content to be universally available by default. If somebody wants that type of content to entertain themselves, it should be invoked only at their specific request, but not available by default.
Although such words are mostly of an anatomical nature, and I do not think they are offensive, it is not my place to enforce the sensibilities of people who believe otherwise. It would be a good idea to not include words or plays on words that are not suitable in polite conversation because somebody may be offended. Offending people does not help anyone, even if their apparent offense may seam to be silly by your standards.

I hope that this discussion is being picked up by proper Red Hat employees but you can't count on it.
I would suggest that those who are offended put in a bugzilla report and ask to have the offensive content be removed as bugzilla forces people to consider and respond - and you can be relatively confident that the decision to exclude or include the offending content is evaluated by Red Hat managers.
<http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla> - be certain to reference Fedora core and xscreensaver

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
