Free the nipple! (mildly NSFW)

Facebook Wages War on the Nipple | Lina Esco

Facebook allows this:



but not this:




Apparently it also allows videos of beheadings.

What about free nipple beheadings? Need the info MS, sloppy reporting.

They're making tits of themselves. Have these people never heard of Tumblr?

Interesting article - apparently men's nipples were also 'illegal' in the early 20th century.

Americans are weird. I remember the son of some of our American friends going bright red when we went into a Greek restaurant that had some topless lady statues.

I like this photo - says it all really.


But are male nipples really the same as female, in terms of visual stimulation? That would be a scary b3ta type competition...

Somewhat slightly related to this in the sense that it relates to outdated / sexist attitudes to the female form was a set of signs I saw on a beach in France as a young gal whilst on holiday with my folks.

Now, I wish I had a pic of one of these because they are actually quite amusing in an ironic post modern sense of the word. Basically, the promenade running in front of the beach had its lampposts adorned with these signs and they would run in an alternating sequence. The first sign would show a cartoon of a perfectly formed topless sunbather - pert little boobs, nice rear end etc accompanied by a big red tick. The alternate sign in the sequence showed another topless bather but this one resembled a beached whale and was accompanied by a big red X.

One used to see a lot of toplessness on French beaches but it's been a long time since I've been down to the Riviera. Innerestingly, friends and acquaintances that have been tell me it's less prevalent than once upon a time.

What on earth is happening to the French? Health obsessed, non smoking, but prudish? Surely not...

Wonder where facebook stands on the Korowai tribe? Is it only Western female nipples that are obscene? I might try and find out

I'd help her with some oil and a pair of tweezers.

Just the sort of news I like to keep abreast of
