Drinking from a firehose

While the reaction of LJ on this issue could doubtless be better handled, I'm not at all surprised that they felt they had to do *something* after they'd been advised of the content.

Several people on my flist have mentioned this issue, so knowing nothing about it, I found a copy of the Snape/Potter artwork that seems to be at the centre of the fuss.

Dunno about the US, but I suspect that placing that image in a publicly viewable location would be very close to a criminal offence over here...especially given the inherent teacher/pupil context.
