In the second screenshot, they all look just about ready for a threesome - I don't mind warmth and hapiness and all that, but in my (pretty liberal) opinion, the picture is a bit _too_ much warmth, sharing and happiness for a general purpose machine. As for art being confrontational, no issues with that, as long as you don't shove it down peoples' throat on a computer - at the end of the day, recognising diversity is also about respecting the possible moral and sometimes legal boundaries of others - and in this case, this may mean having to go with the "lowest" common denominator.
