Lenna's image is an historical artifact. It is an historical fact that it was used as one of the first test image and has the same historical importance as the Utah teapot for 3d and Tom's Dinner for mp3.
So at the risk of having an unpopular opinion, does it really make sense to censor ourselves by hiding that history? I would agree that we don't necessarily need to continue using it as a test image for further research and publication but when talking about the history of image research and processing I don't see why we should hide or censor it.
