Re: Acceptable media.

So, it sound so far like we should go with, "As long as it isn't obscene 
we can have a laugh."  I'm down with that as long as others are.  I just 
saw that and professionalism jumped into my head straight away compared 
to having fun.

So at this point the main question would be, Does anyone simply outright 
object to non-professional style images?
