Is she complaining that this happened because they inflated her breasts to cover those nipples?

Why is the female nipple considered taboo? Women can pretty much wear pasties to the beach, but showing nipples is illegal. Seems illogical to me. Both sexes have nipples. The differentiating factor is the female breast, yet women are not prohibitted from showing the breast - just the nipple. I understand that from a practical standpoint, fashioning garments which would cover the breast but leave the nipple exposed would be difficult and aesthetically not as pleasing as bikini tops or pasties, but from a logical perspective, that seems to be the way it ought to work. Of course, there are also the other two other options -- require men to wear bras or allow women to go topless. The current banishment of female nipples is unsupportable. Its a miscarriage of justice which should be stopped.

This is truly upsetting. First Victoria's Secret airburshes out all nipples and pubic hair shadows, now this. Society is going to hell in a handbasket.

What a sin!

I think maybe I need to go see this movie.

Favorite excerpt: (File this one under the "People love interesting writing" column)

"The star also said she has thrown away ex husband Billy Bob Thornton's blood, which she wore in a pendant around her neck.

The actress, who has already had her tattoo with his name removed, told German magazine TV Movie: "I've thrown away Billy's blood that I wore around my neck in a glass pendant.""

Thanks for making that clear.

You should do more fancies.

So maybe Bush and the Pope can work on this one.

I'm an atheist, but I would still feel slightly uneasy trying to remove the Pope's nipples.

I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm right, but, if I have to test my theory, that's not the situation I want to find out I'm wrong with.

At least get the picture to work before throwing stones.

I did. You should have checked to see if it was up before catching my stones and throwing them back at me.

You see, Scalia was right. First it's sodomy, and next thing you know the government can't regulate masturbation or even (gasp!) marriage.

I've been wondering -- in Scalia's opinion, he mentioned laws regulating adultery and masturbation as possibly being the next to go now that sex involving things other than one vagina and one penis is OK.

Are there really laws against adultery and masturbation? I realize that adultery can be a basis for support and may affect the division of assets in a divorce, and there are a couple states where you can sue on the civil side for alienation of affection. But he seemed to be more on the criminal side -- can I really (even theoretically) get hauled into court for masturbating (without indecent exposure, of course)? What if someone reaches orgasm in an exercise class or because of vibrations from a vehicle, without actually touching their genitals? Legal, or illegal? Moral, or immoral?

Things may have changed, but I believe in one or two of the southern states it is illegal to possess a vibrator - I think masturbation is part of that whole line of reasoning.

Little known fact: Albert "Jacks" Peterson held the world record in jacks for over 10 years by successfully pulling off a sweep of one jack (a truly amazing feat since the ball was also constructed of hand-carved stone -- very difficult to bounce). A true pioneer of the sport -- some say, legend. Here he is, demonstrating proper form:

I was going to include that a ban on sex toys is different than a ban on masturbation but I thought it was obvious (particularly given my no-contact examples) that you don't really need a possibly illegal sex toy to masturbate. Or, well, I don't. I think that if you have gotten yourself to the point where you can only reach orgasm in one particular way (which is usually a particular form or direction or, uh, strength of touch), you're supposed to work on resensitizing so that you can enjoy other forms of sex, as for instance with other people.

Hope that's helpful.

The bottom picture had some nipplage. Maybe there had been more previously.
