I live in italy, europe, and I am *not* offended by those images and 
splash etc.  at all.
*but* I'd like to choose if I want to see some people on my desktop.
this is the point.
ubuntu logo as a wallpaper is good as default distribution wallpaper. 
then, *if I want*, I can customize that.
a photo with people (naked or not) is another thing.

ok, then, let's put a "jennifer lopez" theme as default! ;o)

imho.
