Personally I have no problem with porn images in a presentation, but they are a bit distracting. Nevertheless, professionally I would never pull a stunt like this, or even consider it because of the risk of offending someone. What makes it worse though is that the offender will not apologize or even try to see the other side of it, which is then magnified by the core team members backing him up on it.

"professionally I would never pull a stunt like this, or even consider it because of the risk of offending someone." I find this a pretty craven position to take. You are always going to offend someone unless you offer only the blandest of commentary. Do you really want to let your speech and actions be guided by the lowest common denominator? "What makes it worse though is that the offender will not apologize" Because he feels he has nothing to apologise for? What do you want, a fake apology? Hey, you didn't call me Sir. That offends me. Apologise. "or even try to see the other side of it" There is a limit to how far you can go trying to "understand the other side". Sometimes the other side is just bullshit. Imagine you give a talk about evolution. It "offends" some young-earth creationists. Are you really going to try to "see the other side"? "which is then magnified by the core team members backing him up on it" Kudos to them, they didn't have to step into the ring, but I'm glad they did.
