While this is true, I use the internet heavily, being in the tech industry.

Not if the image was on the Guardian or something similar that just blends in.

Yea, it kind of sucks, but that just comes back to different cultures. Nudity is more accepted in Germany apparently, and it isn't in the US, that's just something we have to live with.
> You may have to adopt a more forgiving sense of propriety or confine yourself to some much smaller portion of the internet.
I guess I do, unfortunate for the Guardian.

Of course not, but this is not what I'm claiming at all. The Guardian presents itself as a news organization. The person that picked out that picture should have considered posting it in light of the fact that they are now, with the Snowden leak, a global news organization, with visitors from Germany AND the US (in this example). What they should consider is "Who is going to see this article?" and then take the option that attracts the most people to their site.
Understand that I'm not trying to say that Guardian should change their site up at all, rather I'm saying that it might benefit them to think twice about what they post, because I'm no longer visiting their site at work.

Oh, I bet that photo was chosen carefully to draw attention.

They have always been so, and I hope they don't begin to pander to social conservatives.

I think that's exactly what they've done. For better or worse.

Not that I necessarily want more breastfeeding in my news but I certainly hope you're in the minority. How bad will it be when they have to pander to even more conservative Islamic sensibilities?
