I think part of the problem is thata picture like that is very noticeable on your monitor. Its very obviously not work. Not only is it not work but its a woman's arse, basically. It might not be porn, but if your boss is walking past s/he probably wont stop and say 'ooh! Nice vectors, wow. I wish i could do vectors like that, how splended!'.
It would more likely be 'get on with the damn work you're paid for' or 'honey, you're sacked'.
I don't have a massive problem with this image in particular (well, any more than i have problems with all images that just turn women into objects), but i can see his point. Having said that, if things are that bad, look at b3ta without the pictures, or, worse, actualy do some work.
Or is that just ridiculous?
Yeah, ok, that is just stupid
