Don't misunderstand me, I have nothing against American football. It's just that somebody told me that the broadcast lasts 4 hours, out of which only 1 hour of effective game. The rest is for the commercials. How can a human being watch that kind of thing?

I hope you agree with me when I say that the Statue of Liberty is obscene (it has been built by the French)...

Curtains for semi-nude justice statue



No longer will the 'Spirit of Justice' bare her breast

No longer will US Attorney General John Ashcroft appear in public with a semi-nude statue towering above him.
The US Justice Department has spent $8,000 on curtains to hide the statue from the cameras.

The female, art-deco "Spirit of Justice" statue, with one breast exposed, is located on the podium in the department's ornate Great Hall where news conferences are often held.



Mr Ashcroft 'knew nothing' of the decision

One fully-exposed breast protrudes from her toga garment.

Her male counterpart, the "Majesty of Law", is sculpted with a cloth strategically placed around his waist.

Photographers have gone to great lengths in the past to capture the scantily-clad female statue in the background as the Justice Department's top brass addressed the world's press.

Mr Ashcroft has been photographed speaking in front of her several times since the 11 September attacks.

Hired drapes have previously hung in front of both statues for formal events, such as President George W Bush's visit to name the building after assassinated former attorney-general, Robert Kennedy.

Visual harmony

This was done for "aesthetic" reasons, according to Justice Department spokesman Shane Hix, who said the drapes provided a pleasant background for television cameras.

But on Monday the department announced that it had taken a "cost effective" decision to buy the curtains, which cost around $2,000 to hire.

ABC News reported that the decision was taken at the request of the conservative Mr Ashcroft himself.

But Justice Department spokeswoman Barbara Comstock said Mr Ashcroft knew nothing of the investment.

"He has more important things to worry about than what appears in the pictures," she said.

The drapes are reported to have been hanging since Monday, drawing to a close the sport of photographers who infamously sprawled on the floor to snap the former Attorney General Edwin Meese holding aloft his report on pornography in front of the female statue.

Yeah, apparently the board interprets three W's in a row as a link, but that wasn't what I intended.

I personally think she did it to drum up some publicity for the album she's got coming out soon. Lord knows she needs publicity, since she's not exactly an A-lister anymore

I meant one boob that points East and one that points West. It can happen if your bra cup is set too far apart - or if you are wearing some sort of strange corset like Miss. Jackson (if you're nasty!).

Has anyone else heard the theory that she did this to deflect attention from her child molester brother? It seems pretty feasible to me.

I have between 1-3 vestigial, supernumerary nipples. Mine aren't fully developed. They just look like really hairy moles, but they're along your "mammary line" (?). Essentially if you draw a line on one side of your body from your armpit through your nipple and down toward your groin (think about your pet dog or cat's teats), you may get a pleasant raised, discolored, hairy surprise! Mine're located about 4 inches below my primary nipples.

So that's me and my, some would say, obsessive relationship with my extra nips.

I had a college professor that showed the class he had three nipples,...... repeatedly. I obviously was traumatized.

Huh, I just learned something new I didn't want to know, so I want to share it with you all:

"How many people get Extra Nipples?
Prevalance: about 1 in 10 people but most are small and mistaken for freckles or moles
Prevalance Rate: approx 1 in 10 or 10.00% or 27.2 million people in USA"

OK, well, that's all I got for now. I have some really important business to attend to. <warily looks underneath shirt>

Alp, that's awesome.
Oh, and is East/West breast referencing nipple placment?
mcmikey Posted - 02/05/2004 : 13:34:33
it's stuck on by the piercing that goes through it. IF you look closely you can see the barbell

Not long - I was staring in pained disbelief at the contraption on her nipple, "how's it stuck on?", I wondered...."looks kinda like one of them hippie smiling sun thingies"...when lo and behold, the face just appeared like a smiling Madonna apparition!!! It's a miracle!!

Jackie Gleason appeared to millions of viewers during the superbowl, and not one soul noticed, 'cause his face was just too small. Maybe it was his way of telling us that Art Carney has made it across safely to that Great Bowling Alley in the Sky.

Thank you, France...for the arthouse movement, 'French' bread, Beatrice Dalle, sexy maids, Jacques Tati...not so sure about the frogs legs 'n snails, though! Anyone whose been to Paris says its too expensive...they end up eating at McD's or getting overcharged for lunch!

This nipplegate really underlines cultural differences between France and the USA. You Americans are so obsessed with nudity. On Baywatch, there are way more tits, but just because you don't see a nipple it makes it OK. Come on, what's the big deal? Do you really think that this will turn kids into serial rapers? Who cares about Bill Clinton having his cock sucked?

By the way, I have never considered Janet Jackson as an artist, and it is definitely not going to change.

It was no accident!

It is retarded that people get so upset about it. The innuendo and violence in some of the commercials is just as if not more offensive.

Haeheh, "East/West Breast".

What's even weirder, it looks like she has Jackie Gleason's face in her nipple.

That's actually more nip then I thought you could see. I thought it was a pastie but I guess it is actually just her piercing (and may I say, "OW") - it's all so weird!

I mean, why would he ACCIDENTALLY rip her shirt off? What did he MEAN to do exactly? It's bizarre! The world is weird.

On an unrelated note, that costume looks extreamly uncomfortable. My boob would not like to be pushed up and over that way, she has a severe case of East/West Breast. To say nothing of the large object jammed through her nipple.

Concerning Boobage:
Well, sex still is taboo in our American society, and I doubt the breast will ever not be sexualized. I find it strange all the grinding and implied sex was fine, but a little areola is something to be embarassed about. Especially since she had such a cool nipple ring. I believe the state of New York and Ontario women can be topless wherever men can. Would it have been different is we had seen Justin's timber? I dunno. Sex and bodies are funny.

That's a totally cool sun.
ramona Posted - 02/02/2004 : 14:10:52
What's the big deal? It's a boob! Gawd. You think people never saw a fucking boobie before. Meanwhile, men beat the shit out of each other in sports DAILY - yet a woman flashes a tit (with her nipple covered, by the way!) and it's the end of the world.

I don't understand Americans either.

sadly, I have to disagree with you about the day of the celebrity coming to a close. It's just that now people are able to become celebrities for doing absolutely nothing. Paris Hilton is a perfect example. She's famous for nothing more than being rich (and not because she earned the money herself), partying, and being a total slut. And not even an attractive one in my opinion.
I've seen a few vidcaps from her video. I reminded me of newscasts from Iraq in the middle of the night. You'd think with it being in a hotel room they could jsut turn on the lights. Dumbasses
