Well, it seems you are in the minority of not disliking the theme. Also,
calling people who dislike the theme closed-minded is a stretch.
Pictures of happy people are often considered kinda
cheap/tacky/commercial. It feels almost like someone is trying to sell
you something. I bet one of the reasons people have a negative reaction
to the images is that having other people see the images is embarrassing
- you just have to tell people that "I didn't choose it, and I'm going
to change it ASAP".

Remember those Scientology/Watchtower/Jehova's Witness publications?
Their image material is suspiciously similar to the new theme...
