However, the same approach to the latest Bujold Cover doesn't bother me at all. Mostly because the cover reflects both the tone of the book and an actual scene from the book.
Context matters, I guess.

OHMYGOD. That is one ugly cover. And you're right. I wouldn't buy the book. I've never read the author, but I wouldn't even give that book a second glance. It just makes me think the whole thing must be tasteless. Sure, don't judge a book by a cover, but some book covers just cause such a reaction you don't want a thing to do with them. That is certainly one.
