I clicked on it, and saw it was being hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, uploaded from Flickr by the Flickr upload bot.
Objecting to this isn't a question of being prudish or of censorship, or of being anti-wiki. But if we want to attract mature editors, women editors, editors from outside the majority cultures on Wikipedia, and serious readers, this kind of thing is obviously very off-putting. So we risk limiting our reach by not dealing with it.
