Subject: Legit holdup on image in gallery or someone just feeling queasy?

So...I upload an image and it gets pulled rather quickly.  Two problems, I'm told.  I'm using something copyrighted in the image (fair enough and changed, although the joke isn't perhaps as funny, but it's a legit complaint).  Second, there's nudity in the thumbnail.

I sent up the fixed image, but since there was no nudity in the thumbnail (and I sent the original, larger version to make that clear) I didn't change it.  And I wait and wait and wait...and it hasn't appeared.  I get no response to my email asking what's going on.

Now I can see two reasons for this.  One, it's just taking a while to put it back in my gallery.  That's understandable.  The second possibility is one I'm rather hoping isn't the case...that someone let their personal opinions decide they didn't like the joke.  Or someone browsing the gallery complained because they didn't like the joke.

I would like to know what exactly is going on.

Oh, just for the record, here's the part of the image that was thumbnailed .  Suggestion to the people making that sort of decision: it might help if there actually was nudity in it before pulling it because there supposedly is.
