There is already a goatse.cx article, without the image. I think the
description of the image is more than enough, furthermore, posting material that can
be classified as pornography can get us into legal trouble. To pick a
somewhat less offensive example than goatse.cx, say we wanted to illustrate
articles about porn movies -- sooner or later someone is probably going to write
them. I don't think we could legally complement these articles with pornographic
screen captures, even if we wanted to.

If Jimbo wants to take the risk, however, I'm all for it.

Regards,

Erik
