It doesn't, but I'm not worried about people suing us or blaming us, but 
Wikipedia being a crappy encyclopedia.  Having no images would make it a 
crappy encyclopedia.  Having so many unpleasant images sprinkled through 
it that every article on medical procedures or disasters or accidents or 
anything else potentially related is completely unreadable also would 
make it a crappy encyclopedia.

If you really must see an autofellatio picture, it doesn't take very 
long to click on the link.
