@ rulesinquisitor, Vektor480, and Fish
Please read the code of conduct www.wizards.com/Company/About.aspx?x=wz_... before you post such comments. They have been reported.
@Kagehamusuta
Your comment doesn't violate the code of conduct in and of itself but please mind what you say. Not everyone wants to see comments of that nature.
Please keep it clean people.
My comment was a question about who approved the art on a card created by Wizards of the Coast and about the title of an article posted by Wizards of the Coast. If my comment violates the code of conduct, then Wizards also violated the code of conduct.
You took your interpretation of their art too far. Same with the title of the article. The art is a wurm wearing the Selesnya headplate similar to what you see on Siege Wurm  bursting out of the ground and throwing some humanoids and chunks of earth in the air. I don't see that art (or the art for Rupture Spire  ) as offensive. The title of the article could have been chosen better. However, since creatures with high power and toughness are known as "fatties" in Magic slang and these wurms are decimating the depicted army (and can do a lot of damage to opponents) the title fits.
The art for the card and the title of the article were not meant in any way to violate any rules. It is sad that such art can be viewed in such a way and a title of an article can be completely ruined by the way some people think.

I would like to complain about the creature type of this card. Hydras have been an awesome additional to green. Things like Vorapede  and now this wurm however, are just too lame to be mythic. Green will never be respected as the 'creature color' as long as every color gets more interesting iconic creatures. Also, jokes about Siege Wurm are as old as the original Ravnica block itself.

I didn't interpret their art at all. I think the art is hideous, not offensive, and the title is something that would be written by a second grader.
My comment was not meant in any way to violate any rules, apparently it's your interpretation of my comment that violates the code of conduct. It's sad that comments can be completely ruined by the way some people think.

You guys are all being really immature. I for one think this is a great card. I look forward to playing it alongside Witch-Maw Nephilim  and my promo Demigod of Revenge  in my Naya-inspired "Size Matters" deck.  
Free MTGO Tournaments you should be playing: Pauper (all commons) - Tuesday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders Peasant (Pauper + 5 uncommons, with paper rarity) - Sunday Nights, prizes by MTGOTraders Silverblack (Modern-era Commons and Uncommons - Most Wednesday nights, prizes by MTGO Bazaar Heirloom ("Cheap" cards only, e.g. rares under 20 cents) - Sunday afternoons, sponsored by MTGOTraders Check the superbly-made Gatherling site for more. Other games you should try: Spectromancer - Online card game by Richard Garfield, available cheap on Steam. DC Universe Online - action-based MMO. Free to play. Surprised me how well designed it is. Simunomics - Free-to-play economy simulation game.

@Fish
I am sorry I interpreted your comment the way I did. Your comment was rather vague as to what your thoughts were of what you were referring to and it's location after a few rather crude comments skewed my judgement of your comment. Thank you for clarifying your position.

What part exactly violates the code of conduct?
I came to see what other people were saying about this obvious innuendo drawing.
Way to kill a fun post.
Your Posts seem more like bullying than anything and seems more off than the comments prior.
Your post has been reported.

If bringing to someones attention that their post contains a vulgar message that is against the code of conduct is bullying then I am a bully and we should have a few more bullys of that sort. I am not a bully, but such remarks do not belong on a forum.
I was wrong in including Fish in my starting comment as he was trying to convey a different message then I thought. Though as I said, his initial post was not specific as to his reasonings and given the location after vulgar posts it seemed that he was adding to them. I have already tried to apologize for including Fish in my initial comment.
I am not going to give you any straighter of an answer because doing so would involve violating the code of conduct. Although this is starting to become derailing so I hope that this will be the last statement I have to say on the matter. I do not intend to derail the thread.

GreenBuster is right. The people who made this card: 
would never ever tolerate a tastefully-stated risque joke on their forums.
