This Spanish PSA, which warns of the dangers of  “sexting,” follows a similar trajectory to domestic anti-sexting initiatives: There’s the ill-advised nudity, the mass tween sext, and the shame, oh, the shame. One difference: The Spanish version drops a lot of nipple.

The human nipple is a strange beast. Depending on the context, this “small projection of skin containing the outlets for 15-20 lactiferous ducts arranged cylindrically around the tip” has been marketed as alternately sexy, obscene, artistic, disgusting, and even sexier.

But as a consumer of nipple shots, such versatility can become confusing. It’s often difficult to know the socially acceptable reaction to every stray projection of skin that catches your eye. Should you high-five your buddy or vomit discreetly into your hands? I’m here to help.

The Huffington Post entertainment page has been conspicuously absent of female nipples lately. I think we’ve finally found the kryptonite to HuffPo’s entertainment page sexism: The biggest, weirdest star in the world suddenly dropping dead.

In Howard Kurtz‘ column today, Arianna Huffington responded to this blog’s charges of sexism over the Huffington Post’s obsessive nipple-slip coverage. Kurtz’s column was published a full week after the City Paper contacted HuffPo on the nipple issue.

It’s no secret that The Huffington Post fancies itself a left-leaning Web rag. Wikipedia describes Arianna Huffington’s aggregatorial monster as “an American liberal news website.” Conservapedia’s definition, however, might be more helpful: “The site is an extreme mouthpiece for liberals,” it reads. “The Huffington Post calls itself an internet newspaper of blogs, news and video but often is referred to as a hate site where its one-sided news cannot be trusted.”

But even HuffPo’s liberal readership gets tired of hating on conservatives sometimes, guys.

Let’s check out some recent stories from the Huffington Post’s entertainment section:

Wanda Sykes, personal hero of mine, headlined the White House Correspondents Dinner on Saturday. We can get Wanda in the White House, but when will we get Pootie Tang into a Washington, D.C. Blockbuster store? I’m still waiting.

“There was never a nipple portrait of Lincoln, I’m sorry.”

“I tell my kids: If two cars pull up, and one of them has a stranger, and the other one has Dick Cheney, you get in the one with the stranger.”
