Screenshots are useful. But it would have been trivial to keep a technical article SFW.

As-is, this is a solid article that I can't send to my team because of that one poor choice.

Here's why:

1) I don't know the personal histories of everyone I work with, and it's none of my business (they aren't expected to tell me).

2) Some people would be seriously distressed to have their boss or co-worker email them anything with remotely sexual content.

3) I can't reliably identify who these people are, and so I simply shouldn't send anything with sexual content to co-workers/employees.

Doesn't this same logic apply to just about everyone?
