What's Wrong With Nipples?

There's an item in Page Six about how contributors to Suicide Girls don't want to be associated with the site anymore (there's a power struggle between publisher and editors there). An insider "sniffs" to the Post, "The magazine quickly went from a contemporary, hip production to a little more than a hipsterized Maxim with nipples." Now, Maxim is problematic and so is hipsterization. But nipples - there ain't anything wrong with that. Interpol's Carlos D is cited as one of the annoyed contributors. Does he not like nipples?

Angelina Jolie was upset when the studio de-nippled her Lara Croft picture. A recent egregious nipple moment in a movie was in 50 First Dates, when a rain-drenched Drew Barrymore's nipples are a little too distracting to what was supposed to be a sad moment in the film. Yes, we know it was an Adam Sandler film, but 50 First Dates is actually a lot more complex than you'd think. Complex, with walrus penis size jokes (check out the "Sandler & Sivuqoc" clip here).

what do y'all think of clear nipples? do y'all find them discusting?

the page 6 info came from a disgruntled former editor trying to sink the magazine. He's petty, shortsighted, and has lied to everyone involved in this project. On a positive note, SG Pinup magazine has wrapped production and will be on newstands June 1.

I have to agree about 50 First Dates. Most of the slapstick scenes were shown in the trailer. The remainder of the movie was actually quite touching. Except for the walrus vomit.

FWIW, nipples get my vote, too.

That item was also a great milestone for the "blogosphere" as well, as it was almost certainly lifted from BoingBoing.

Mmmm! Mmmm!

As a longtime Gothamist reader,

I say,

"More nipples, please!"

nipples are NOT our friends! didn't you see Janet Jackson on the Super Bowl? geez, you people need to stop thinking for yourselves and jump into the collective think tank with the rest of us.

..and where is Jen's rant regarding the subtle sexism peddled on the site...I'm sure there is a gentle lotus flower nipple or two on that page...no?
