She in fact is not a minor but a 30 year old Japanese Bikini model called "Yuko Aoki". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuko_Aoki
What you find offensive is more a reflection on perspectives and cultural differences.

If she really were a minor that would be a bit much...Japanese women are hard for americans to judge as far as age...but I didnt think she looked underage.

Culturally, from Adult Anime to models, the Japanese seem to offer a lot of 'young' looking women and don't have a problem with this. I don't know how many times I have googled harmless stuff and some Anime image came up in the midst of it all that made me wonder exactly what their perspective was.
The pose is suggestive. She looks young and when you compare it to other photo's of her on some websites I just checked out, she almost looks to be intentionally young here, or is this a very early photo?
It's not porn, though I think that there were far less suggestive photo's of her to post that are more 'mature' in appearance. Since this seems to be the author's first submission, perhaps some helpful criticism would go further than coming down on him aggressively.

It may be considered by some to be inappropriate for a family site, but it has been said many times by the site owners that WinCustomize is an adult site.
My personal opinion is, as a photograph it has no artistic merit whatsoever. As a screenshot it doesn't display either an interesting, or innovative desktop - hence it's low rating. It's just another dull and pointless glamour image.
Such 'glamour' images may well be considered to be exploitive of the female gender and devalue the individual as a person. Opinions and moral stances will always vary on such issues.
WinCustomize as a matter of policy has always rejected images which may either exploit or devalue individuals. I suspect this particular image's acceptance is borderline in this respect.

You know this has always been a sore spot for a lot of the women here. I agree its hard to tell if the ' female ' is 14 or 24. The shot itself is crap. I skipped over it the first day it was up. Even if the female is 24 - its still nothing but 'cheesecake' pose. I know men like pics of women - but if your going to do a screen shot of your desktop knowing that women are going to view - then use your brain. Ask yourself " Is this something I'd show my mother or wife ? If you answer no - then its a safe bet that the women here will also not like your shot.
Its disrespectful to the women that belong to this site to use this cheap depiction of the ' female'
This is not Art - Id rather see a beautiful naked or semi-naked tasteful picture that shows the beauty of the subject whether its male or female.
My opinion of this wall is that it appears to be a Japanese Teenager.

What if the answer is "yes"?

I only wish my wife would let me put pictures of her in such a pose on my desktop or would allow me to be in such a pose on hers.
Differnet strokes for different folks, right?

What bugs me about it, and I think the picture kind of confirms it, is that her disc site is run through www.starchild.co.jp and the name of her latest CD is Popo-Porn. Which, to my best ability to research is either Police Porn or Porn Police. Perhaps someone who knows something of the Japanese culture or language can clear that part up?
Wikipedia goes onto to say "is a popular Japanese idol and model who typically aims for the cute, innocent schoolgirl look."
From what I read on other sites, she sounds like a flake, who constantly reinvents herself to purposely appear 'odd' and/or 'quirky' to her fans, and who is willing to degrade herself for the popularity she seems to enjoy in Japan.

I was gonna comment on the first sentence, but I think the second covered it. Vividly.

I have no problem if your buck naked on your wifes desktop or her on yours. The question is - would you post it here on WC ?
While the shot may have barely past through moderation..what ever happened to
the rule guidelines of the " Wall must be sufficiently obscured " ??
I recall having to put a items smack in the middle of a screen shot to get it past moderation..

My wife gets upset when I post my life journals. In my case, I would threaten to post it and take money not to.
