MONEY FOR NIPPLES, CHICKS FOR FREE

defrogITEM: I didn’t see last night’s Wrestlemania XIV, but those of you did might be able to confirm if the wrestlers still had nipples. Because they didn’t in the promo posters.
See? No nipples. Nipples is illegal in Florida, evidently. Or at least the mayor of Orlando thinks it is.
Only it turns out there’s no law against public man nipples in Orlando, but someone censored them anyway.
Think about this. Someone somewhere made an executive decision to remove the nipples from this poster, and presumably did so on the basis that leaving them in would result in people being embarrassed, offended and possibly arrested.
Maybe it’s not just the usual American nipplephobia (see: Janet Jackson, John Ashcroft, Desperate Housewives, breastfeeding, etc).
Maybe it’s a matter of national security. Or maybe it’s how the city justified gouging fans with a $5 “facility fee” on Wrestlemania tickets – which is five times the usual fee. “You want to see nipples on the wrestlers? That’ll cost ya extra.”
You’d think they’d throw in a Bra & Panties Match® for that kind of money.
FUN FACT: In Orlando, while it’s legal to show man nipples in public, it’s illegal to feed homeless people. So don't get any funny ideas.
Stop staring at my tits,
This is dF
