American Women Have No Nipples (before 10 p.m.)
Repeated verbatim from Jeff Jarvis' BuzzMachine:
Pamela Anderson, appearing on Howard Stern this morning to plug her new Fox show Stacked, said that the network censors have come on the set and ordered that her nipples be "taped down" because you can't have nipples before 10 p.m.
This shows the absurd lengths to which regulatory puritanism has gone: Now American women can't have nipples, at least not before the "safe harbor," when, apparently, nipples are suddenly, magically allowed to pop out again.
I say that the NOW should be storming the FCC with protest over this: Because of the chill (which, yes, ironically, would have the undesired effect on nipples) they have imposed, we are now at the point where a woman's clothed anatomy is deemed to be injurious to children. That's childish itself; it's absurd; it's sexist; it's more offensive than any nipple, even Janet Jackson's.
Now I wish I had watched this last night! (Almost.) I take it the frequent cold days, afternoons and nights in San Francisco for WB's "Charmed" are in the interest of realism.
Is FOX really this out of ideas that this is how they try and get buzz for a new show?
Can I write 'nipple' enough times? Apparently not.

You said the dreaded p-word!
Remember the joke on the Simpsons when Homer had the idea for the reality show - "we really are that desparate."
