IMHO we have to be careful to prevent this discussion from becoming
"philosophical". The question is that in the default installation of
Ubuntu, erotic content may be shown to users that are not explicitly
looking for it. Now, I do not have a degree in psychology, HCI or the
such but I am pretty sure many people could perceive this as
inappropriate/unwanted.

Can this be fixed with some tweaking? Sure. Is it a good message for a
beginner? Probably not. Something along the lines of "Linux is totally
cool and safe -- by the way,  you have to run this cryptic terminal
command if you do not want to see boobies in your start menu" - that is
not reassuring.

I think this feature was poorly thought, and someone needs to go back,
rethink about it and fix this. Whether the solution is some magical
adult-content filter, or deactivating the feature alltogether, or
creating a separating shopping lens is not so relevant.
