You're right. To me, the sanctimonious "caution nudity" signs are
somehow more depressing and revolting than the brutality itself.  The
brutality IS depressing and revolting, but the "omg they're
naked" reaction to those pictures is totally inappropriate and
indicates a complete lack of understanding about what is happening.
