I agree with you.

I also don't understand why people are so nervous about sex but seem to be comfortable with violent images. It seems to me that a Swimsuit magazine would be better than Call of Duty, but I think most parents would rather their children have the latter.

>>> I also don't understand why people are so nervous about sex

Seems related to the "WASP American culture" described by dneary above in this thread. Here in France I don't think that people are nervous about sex and Mark Pesce's slides would not be considered as offensive.
However we have a specific taboo about money. Different cultures, different taboos.
