We've already been through this loop with Supertuxkart, on the games 
list, where "Sara" was depicted wearing a Bikini in a beach scene. 
<quote> "when a human body is "portrayed in a sexual manner (e.g., 
dressed in revealing clothing, with bodily postures or facial 
expressions that imply sexual readiness) and are objectified (e.g., used 
as a decorative object, or as body parts rather than a whole person)". 
<unquote>

To be blunt, it appears the call is for us to be in need of brain police 
"for the children" instead of a parent being responsible for their own 
policing what their children come in contact with. Otherwise, we accept 
liability for the content of packages and potentially might get sued 
over ANY lack of "due diligence". We would have to erase all images of 
children at play because they might incite some errant priest to act 
out. That is the thing, any attempt to censor anything not illegal is a 
slippery slope and best avoided or we accept liability. Ric
