My apologies for the above comment. Up until reading Fernando's post, I 
wasn't aware of openclipart2. I note that it is substantially larger 
than openclipart and is organized by contributor, not by topic. 
Following my suggestion would be hugely time consuming and achieve very 
little.

Looking at the images that were identified, I find little justification 
in the original complaint. One can easily accidentally stumble across 
far more provocative content on Facebook.
