How Nipples Got A Prestigious Magazine Banned From Facebook

Newyorker: The New Yorker has a Facebook page, which a lot of you like, or maybe it’s just one person with a lot of time on their hands, liking the page over and over again. But in any case, it’s a whole lotta like. We like that.
What we don’t like is that we got temporarily banned from Facebook for violating their community standards on “Nudity and Sex,” by posting this Mick Stevens cartoon. (Facebook, Services)

like two freaking pixels?
they allow screenshots of people getting shot in the call of duty page, but two cartoon nipples and they come over all sensitive?

showing violence, like shooting people in the head in a game, is A ok, but a little bit of sex is bad?

what kind of frakked up world is it when the the moderators, or whoever, don't bat an eyelid at almost photo realistic images of people getting their heads blown off but a pair of cartoon nipples gets them all ban happy?

lastly, for the artist at the New Yorker, instead of drawing them fully clothed, maybe some fig leaves, that is the traditional garb of adam and eve i understand.
that would have kept the humour and satisfied the prudes at facebook.

If they find nipples to be so offensive, they should take it up with their maker..Wow, we sure would look weird without them.
