That's an over-simplification - not everyone would agree with your 
definition of wrong, or tasteful. Some people would say (and it's not 
just "prudishness" or "Victorian values") that any display of nudity 
(i.e. the splash screen), explicit or not, is wrong and tasteless.

Exactly - but those "moral conservatives" believe that things like this 
are wrong and tasteless.

We will not be able to agree on _right_ or _wrong_ in this discussion - 
let's not try - just what is _acceptable_ or _appropriate_ for Ubuntu - 
which I think was actually your point! Just wanted to remind everyone 
that _some_ people think this is wrong.
