If you go to Google Images and search on a keyword, and then click on new SafeSearch filter drop down (might only work on a PC), you will see a new way of reporting offensive images. A drop down lets you select, "report offensive images." Here is a picture:

Jul 6, 2009 at 9:26am ET by Barry Schwartz
