Nipplegate
In the wake of Janet Jackson's, uh, wardrobe malfunction during Super Bowl XXXVIII, the moral majority has apparently declared a war on breasts.
The producers of Desperate Housewives are reportedly spending thousands of dollars to digitally remove the nipples from Teri Hatcher and Nicolette Sheridan.
Victoria's Secret has even invented a new space-age bra with nipple cancelling technology.
Next it will be midriffs. Then legs. Then arms and faces... and finally the American Taliban will have our ladies wearing burkhas. Ah, what a relief that will finally be.
Fortunately, real women aren't going to take this lying down. When Barbara Walters remarked on her show "The View" that the sight of a woman breast-feeding on an airplane next to her had made her uncomfortable, it sparked a mass protest. Over 200 moms brought their babies out to publicly breast-feed in front of ABC's headquarters.
