In an example of the anti-nipple phenomenon, Canadian actress Pamela Anderson complained that network censors ordered her nipples be 'taped down' during filming of her new TV series, Stacked, so as not to offend prime-time audiences.

The good news is those weapons of mass destruction have finally been found.

The bad news is your mother, sister, aunt, and grandma are all guilty of having them.

Sixteen months after the Super Bowl's tempest in a C-cup, war has been declared on women's breasts. From Desperate House-wives' deployment of digital nipple-erasers to Victoria's Secret's nipple-negating bras, a campaign is under way to conceal one of the natural features of the female breast.

The producers of TV's Desperate Housewives have reportedly spent thousands of dollars digitally removing the nipples from on-screen images of actresses Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan.

In discussing the show's "nipple problem," series creator Marc Cherry tells the Philadelphia Daily News: "Certain actresses really don't like to wear bras. And we try to accommodate them as much as humanly possible. ... So we've done a lot of blurring."<<

14. People who are threatened by seeing the human body really need to

get a grip..hell if there were ANY reason to migrate to Europe it would be to get away from the fucking puritans who are more threatened by a nipple than by the lying sack of shit they voted for.

4. VS bra "designed to prevent this problem from arising."

According to a spokeswoman for Victoria's Secret, one of the biggest complaints from the company's clients was "nipple show-through" in unlined bras. They responded by introducing the much-hyped Ipex, a bra with a contoured pad designed to prevent this problem from arising.

10. You may have your hands full. Need help?

[MrScorpio]

6. You want to go to a place where nipples roam free? Try TV Land

Somehow, this wasn't a problem back during the 70's

11. Correct me if I'm wrong...and I may be...and I'll eat a bug if I am...

BUT DOESN'T EVERYONE HAVE FUCKING NIPPLES?!

Seriously, what the fuck?

[Nikia]

13. Maybe, I'm too self conscious

But I get embarassed about showing my nipples. They are often visible unless I wear a much larger shirt or a padded bra. I am already big in that area for my size. I don't really like appearing to be a D cup when I am a C cup.

[iconoclastic cat]

15. How can these idiots be both anti-gay and anti-female nipples?

Next thing you know, all dogs will have to wear underwear in public.

[6000eliot]

16. Jesus Christ! People need to get a grip!

As it were.

[Initech]

17. Are these people like Tobias in Arrested Development where...

they can never be naked? Wow, these people have become completely insane!

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:s

18. If there's ONE thing that gets my dander up, it NIPPLES!

Just LOOK at my dander!
It's WAAAYYYY up there.
Damned dander-raising nipples.
