Choosing a new default icon

OK, I'd like your help. I've nicked the idea from Good/Bad Delphic polling. You might find that FAQ 111 helps, or the additional explanation from my email that "In particular, images of the female breast that depict the nipple or areola regions are inappropriate for use as a default userpic." I'm very grateful for that clear delineation; it's so helpful to have an absolute hard and fast rule.
With that in mind, which of the following would be an acceptable LiveJournal default icon?
[Poll #745962]

And the abstract has a very low risk of trouble from e.g. Harry Potter burners. Lower than, for example, the Klimt.

After all, it might just be a very muscular woman and you haven't got text saying "Man-tits" written over it after all. i thought long and hard about the green circles one and evben though I voted 'acceptable' i think LJ Abuse could nail you for that one too if they felt like it.

Date: 2006-06-11 01:56 pm (UTC)I think the current LJ abuse position is absurd, but I'd note that at the end of the day they're human beings who have got themselves into a corner and are taking criticism from many sides. That's a recipe for a cornered reaction.

Date: 2006-06-11 06:10 pm (UTC)The problem comes back to Six Apart not providing sufficient training and guidance, and not accepting that although the abuse team are volunteers the management are still responsible for their actions.
