I suppose you are referring to
<http://news.povray.org/3p0e60969ebtssdmsv3h5ji0u1e3u26gsd%404ax.com>?

In that case, this in only on the news server, not the web view.  Apart from
that, there were two images posted in GIF format, but in a hidden way.
While I don't think this should have been done, fact is that by default you
see nothing that would qualify as pornography in those image with the
specified color palette.

Don't you think you are a tiny bit over-reacting just because one troll
posted one such image?

You should just killfile the one troll many here have already killfiled
already.  Or do you really want the administrators of this news server to
declare that something is degenerate art and not allow it?
