I think that for most, it comes down to context. Neither picture is wrong in the right setting. I do not find anything objectionable about newsworthy pictures depicting violence or its aftermath nor do I take issue with pictures of an explicit sexual nature as long as neither is exposed to my children without my having some reasonable ability to prevent it (i.e. put on the side of a bus as opposed to the NYT).
As an adult, I have the ability to turn away if something is not to my liking. There is -- or should be -- an open marketplace of speech and ideas where we are all free to make choices.
