The New Yorker was briefly banned from Facebook on Monday for posting a cartoon that ran afoul of Facebook's "Nudity and Sex" community standards, according to a post on The Cartoon Bureau. The offending cartoon shows Adam and Eve in repose under an apple tree, with Eve stating, "Well, it was original."

The page, which has over 500,000 likes, was taken down Monday because of the cartoon showing the two Bible characters, or more specifically, their nipples. Robert Mankoff, the cartoon editor at The New Yorker (a sister publication of Ars), posted two closeups of the offending dots, which bear remarkable similarity to two other, non-offending dots in the cartoon.

Mankoff cites Facebook's guidelines for nudity-related bans posted by Gawker, which even go so far as to cover clothed "female nipple bulges" (not featured in the controversial cartoon). The guidelines specify that "male nipples are ok," but do not address the matter of artistic renderings.

The Facebook page has since been restored, though the cartoon is no longer posted—a shame, as it's one of many where the catchall caption "Christ, what an asshole" fits. That battle over, Facebook may now be able to refocus efforts combating the actual, serious problem of the proliferation of child porn on the social network.
