I study in computer vision. One of the professors in our department had some of his papers refused by some publishers. They thought it was morally unacceptable to put a playmate's face in the paper.

I applaud such moral rectitude. After all, people who regularly accept grants from the military in order to develop, say, automatic target recognition systems, cannot possibly blemish their immaculate reputation by publishing a cropped image of a tasteful, artistic photo of a gorgeous naked woman.
Looks like all the rumours about the academics' lack of testicular fortitude have been confirmed...
