    Streisand effect in motion. Me and a million other people get to see this for the first time today.

      But the idea isn’t to keep anyone from seeing it. The idea is simply for a lusty image not to be used in academic papers (probably also better that it’s not used in college classes too).

      I love pictures of scantily clad women more than almost anyone. But even I can agree that the Lena image sends the wrong message to women joining the field.

        That’s fair and you are right, but I’m also pointing out a side effect this is causing. I find it interesting is all.
