For what it's worth, though, the image (or rather, the blog feed to
planet-fr where it was posted) was removed because of copyright and
trademark violations. The French community was apparently still
discussing whether removing the stuff was called for :-/ when we told
them to drop the stuff.

Strange? No. Just very annoying, IMHO.

Some people truly do not see the difference between those images and,
say, advertising for female hygiene products which do tend to show even
more skin -- but, of course, not blatant poses like that.
