I just received a message saying that the above image has been rejected and the reason given was that the image was pornographic. I don't understand how this is possible and assume this is a mistake as the image is simply a 512*512 canvas that is entirely white. I could understand if the image did not get out of the public queue because people did not appreciate the joke, however there is no nudity, distasteful or otherwise in the image unless the suggestion is that the cat is somehow involved in some distasteful or perverted activity.

Could this decision be reversed as I only intended to make a humorous entry to this week's weekly challenge and not to cause any kind of offence to anybody.

Thanks for any help you can offer...

Attention, at the moment both preview and full image are 64x64.
edit: now it's 256x256 and two-color, fine for challenge.

Jal, the reference is well-known art:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_on_White
(According to the Talk page, the image was accidentally upside down. Am I the only one who finds it hilarous?)

In French, a "white square" (Carré blanc) used to be a marking for 18+ films - either because of nudity, violence or general shock factor. Maybe it's one reference on top of the other.
