Oh, I'm sure they do.  I'm probably less of a prude than even cgf, but I
sure as hell wouldn't want my boss/IT guy/whoever somehow stumbling across
something like that.  Read a few of 'em dude; what's next, "porntune"
downloading the latest pr0n videos and autoplaying them accidentally at your
next Powerpoint presentation?  This is simply not appropriate for any distro
that is intended for general audiences.  And we both know the howls we'd be
hearing from the Linux camp if Windows shipped with anything half as ribald
as this.

I'll have to check and make sure I didn't install this at work.  I suggest
others do likewise.
