The second one is fine and I guess dates from Ubuntu calendar. I'd
consider that to be art about humanity. The first is just cleavage.

I don't consider naked people to be porn or offensive. I know someone
left abuse on my blog that I'm *supposed to* be in favour of censoring
things, but I'm really not.

The first image lacks artistic merit, however.
