My company develops open-source software for medical imaging and offers training on said software. When we have these training meetings, it's my job to create USB boot drives with some Linux flavor. This app came up on the first test of Ubuntu and our company CANNOT afford to present our preferred OS environment in a way that could offend our customers.

I also volunteer at a coding camp for kids and we're in the process of moving to some USB set-up for all the kids. This really makes me hesitant to use Ubuntu if an application, however benign in usage, promotes pornography by appearance or suggestion, and can "randomly" be suggested. I don't want our kids getting into trouble or angry parents calling me over this.

This bug needs to be moved to a level of importance close to critical because it will turn a LOT of users off of Ubuntu, which is a great OS in all other respects. Until this gets resolved, I'm going to have to use some other distro, which equates to 50+ users affected.
