Say what you will about nipplegate (virtually anything done in a mocking tone is, by default, more than halfway correct).
It really didn't bother me other than it's just crass and probably reflects that way upon us as a society. Then again, we are that society, so who's zoomin' who here really? But I can appreciate that it's not family fare and doesn't belong--then again, the call for official inquiries grates a bit. We seem to be able to find all the effort and funding in the world to investigate any frivolous deed as long as there's a salacious angle to be taken. At the same time, I can think of a number of matters with a bit more gravity (and fewer opportunities to exercise my vast pre-teen arsenal of euphemisms) where getting to the bottom of things seems to be akin to putting a man on the moon. (And hey, we'll even agree to do that before we take a look at the wild things in the closet--but I digress.)
Anyway, this ESPN.com article had my favorite quip on the whole matter:
Holiner said she was not sure whether Jackson's medieval-looking nipple decoration was meant to be seen.
Wasn't aware that there was a whole lot of nipple adornment going on in the middle ages. Then again, I learn something new roughly once a day. Possibly they were using the M. Wallace connotation.
