True, and for that reason I would be surprised, maybe even offended if
*any* random image was sourced from Internet.

Fine, random is ok, offensive is not.

It is difficult to devise a moral code of conduct in the sense of
software development, (i.e military use, movie making -- porno movies vs
sex education movies vs animal mating habits). 

I think it boils down to what is considered offensive. 

If it is the sysadmin who decides what is offensive he/she should at
least know of it!!

The sysadmin may get the sack :-(

The public won't blame the sysadmin they'll blame the big red swirl.
