Confronting him openly and publicly would give him more publicity as well.

If you think Serrano’s intend it to offend, then ignoring him is the best option. He is then a troll.

Unless you believe the picture being shown and seen is somehow damaging, there seems to be little point in protesting it.

A peaceful protest is less out Serrano than it is of channeling the emotions of those who he is going to get a rise out of in a non-violent direction. Some people (myself included) find it very hard-to-impossible to ignore a insult of the kind Serrano poses. The need to reply and publicly rebuke the insult is too great. Thus the need to organize a “official” protest: To channel and contain the emotions of such people.
