Yup. Imagine your eight year old son surfing along, while their parents look
behind their back. Kids don't mind, that's for sure, but parents really can
be picky. People are different, like it or not. (Me myself have no problem
with it, except that it makes the look of the site silly.)

Why wouldn't anyone be interested in Povray? Is there some rule to tell who
likes Povray?

I don't really think that _any_ image not entirely created within Povray
should be banned to promote it. I thought so at first, but you have a point
here. But then again, this image doesn't show off any particulary
interesting fact about Povray; rather more about the modeller used here.
(Poser?) I think one would be better off showing off some _features_.

I ditn't! I just said it was ugly! Please don't put several words at the
same time in my mouth. It ain't that big!
