You know, Alex's butt, surprisingly enough, made me realize what a good
criterion for the wallpapers should be:
They should be in good taste. Fuck the whole legal/illegal stuff. A photo
of Alex's butt is not in good taste. A photo of hemp is on the boundary,
since I doubt anyone would make a picture like that only because it looks
good (a maple-leaf based one would be just as good, and probably easier to
make too)
So, ideologically I am not opposed to the hemp wallpaper, but I'm not sure
it's in good taste. Cameron Diaz OTOH is in good taste to me, but perhaps
not to others... I guess it's a case by case thing? Dunno. But I think the
good taste thing is a far better criterion than none at all.
BTW I vote against the naked mosfet too.
