I have to agree, and I think it probably should have been labeled "NSFW".
The images would definitely make some people uncomfortable and would get others fired in some companies. If I had opened that page when I worked at Microsoft, I'd have likely been in some serious trouble.

Sure, but images with no potentially-offensive content could have been used just as easily (animals, scenic shots, etc). I think that's all that Wirehopper was saying.
