Apple Store App Refusal - for classical nudes included in Tarot Deck!

Hi all,
Given the recent discussion on this list about Apple's mysterious
Approvals process, we were dumbfounded to just get a rejection - FOR
SEXUAL CONTENT! My deck contains no more nudity that the traditional
Rider-Waite-Smith deck that is used in pretty much every other iPhone
Tarot App.
These pics have been hanging in public galleries for a couple of
centuries now, how could they possibly offend anyone? It's not like
they're in a sexual context either - its a Tarot deck, they always
have a bit of nudity.
I think we can add this to the list of "What In The World Is Going On
in the App Store Approvals Process?".
Should I censor the pics to get it in the Store? Jasper (hubs)
suggested I put Apple-logo pasties over the offending nipples :P
Should I talk to some bloggers/newspapers?
meow & ciao,

Hi there Apple Store assessors,
The only 'sexual' content is the breasts shown in a couple of cards,
eg The Star: http://www.78friends.com/The_Star . This is traditional
for those cards and shown in EVERY Tarot App already in the App Store
using the Rider Waite Smith deck (ie, pretty much all of the existing
tarot apps). eg
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RWS_Tarot_17_Star.jpg
Such portrayals are mainstream art, shown in public art galleries
around the world. For example, the nude in my Star card is on public
display at the Galleria Borghese, Rome. how in the world could such a
picture be 'objectionable' as per the SDK Agreement?
Before I censor my own deck, will Apple commit to pulling all those
other Apps, or requiring the breasts to be covered?
Please reply as a matter of urgency.
Thanks,
kat black =^..^=
