As much as I agree with your sentiment in concept as the violation of material like this at it's core is nothing less than vulgarity beyond reasonable rights of freedom of speech.
I would just be very very careful about sanctioning censorship of this nature lest you open the door for government action of same on far lesser threatening material.
