Nancy Grace’s Nipple Slip Traumatized Kids

[n2doc]

OCTOBER 26--The fleeting appearance of Nancy Grace’s right nipple during a recent “Dancing with the Stars” episode prompted about a dozen viewers to write the Federal Communications Commission to beef about the prime time wardrobe malfunction.

The indecency complaints, a selection of which you’ll find here, were received by the FCC following the September 26 broadcast of the hit ABC program. At the conclusion of Grace’s Quickstep performance with partner Tristan MacManus, the HLN host’s breast migrated out of the top of her dress.

This brief exposure prompted some Americans to contact the FCC to express their outrage (though it is hard to tell which correspondents were writing solely for the laughs). The complaints were released today by the FCC in response to a Freedom of Information Act request. The names of complainants were redacted by agency officials.

Angered that Grace “displayed her pornographic breast and nipple on national television,” a Los Angeles resident argued that she and ABC should be “fined for this disgusting and godless display.” Writing from Arlington, Virginia, another viewer charged that Grace knew that her breast might pop out. When Grace’s “nipple private" emerged, the viewer added, it “scared my children.”

warning, images of said 'slip' at link. I think her normal show traumatizes kids much more than this did.....

1. It traumatized me.

I've barely gotten over her nostrils.

[Lint Head]

3. I saw a booger.

[tabatha]

LOL

[Denninmi]

2. If they're so worried about their little angels seeing this

Why are they letting them watch 'Dancing with the Stars' in the first place.

The "costumes" the women wear are extremely revealing, without or without a "wardrobe malfunction".

[FSogol]

4. Unbelievable. :facepalm:

[onehandle]

5. Her ugly soul offends me.

Quick! To pen and paper!

[TwilightGardener]

6. My breasts have never popped or flopped out of anything. I guess it's the advantage

of small breastages. Why is it so hard to contain those puppies?

[HappyMe]

7. Nancy Grace IS traumatizing.

[Enrique]

8. those kids must have good eyes

so I guess that's an upside to this story.

[Spider Jerusalem]

9. TWELVE letters of complaint.

For a show that gets 16 MILLION viewers. The number of people offended enough to complain to the FCC? Fewer than one in a million. For purposes of comparison here, the appearance of Nick Griffin (leader of the British National Party) on the BBC's Question Time drew 8 million viewers (which, considering that the UK has a bit more than 60 million people? Would be the equivalent of more than 40 million viewers for a US television programme, based on relative populations)...and had 290 complaints to the broadcast regulator, Ofcom (of course Nick Griffin is far more genuinely offensive than a nipple).

[Demit]

10. The poor breast was just trying to escape from a dress she bought 3 sizes too small.

It was gasping for air.

[Lucian]

11. Ok. I had to click the link to see pictures.

I don't see what the big deal was. Hell, her nose was more offensive than her nipple.

[AsahinaKimi]

12. I would have imagined that

thousands of people ran to go get their bibles, while the rest jump on their oxygen tanks, to keep from hyperventilating.. I could be wrong, however.

I saw a squirrel...

13. Traumatized by a Nipple? Who Would Be Traumatized by a Nipple?

I stand corrected.

[qb]

28. Good point. I was traumatized by Rick Perry's pornographic leer.

[rexcat]

14. You would think we are living in a theocracy...

no, wait, we are! Americans are such prudes. These asshats would rather have their children watch all the violence on TV than a harmless breast. Good grief!

[Yavin4]

52. Even Worse. They Let Their Kids Play Violent Video Games for Hours

without complaint.

[Mz Pip]

15. Godless display?

Pornographic breast? Sheesh; hyperbole much? Guess these idiots forgot who they believe created the human body.

I don't watch DWTS so I missed the festivities but from what I've seen of out takes this nipple malfunction is pretty tame compared to a lot of the skimpy attire that the dancers wear.

This is beyond silly.

[polichick]

16. Good grief - I wonder if these people are afraid of bums and pee-pees too! :)

[sinkingfeeling]

17. UH. Didn't DWTS confirm that what was showing (for like 2 seconds) was not a

nipple but a piece of the skin-colored bodice lining?

[truebrit71]

18. I think someone is having a laugh...there's no way people can be that uptight and still survive..

..in modern America is there???

And if there ARE people that are that fucked in the head I hope they do us all a solid and get hit by a freight train...Twice..

[Renew Deal]

19. Some of these people have to be kidding.

At least some must be egging on the FCC. They are so ridiculous it's funny.

[Union Scribe]

24. That was my sense

But it's getting harder to tell sarcasm from genuine stupidity these days.

[Warren DeMontague]

31. Yeah, the "godless display" one came from Los Angeles.

If it had come from, say, Mobile, Alabama I might be more inclined to take it seriously, but right now I'm picturing Seth Green typing it out after taking a bong hit.

[dtexdem]

20. Yeah, no kid should see a nipple, certainly no infant should.

Reminds me of a cover of Playboy I saw prominently displayed in a store in Latin America: showing large bare breasts with the statement "no apta para minores" stamped across it, obviously by a government not quite up to censorship. In English: "not appropriate for minors."

[MADem]

21. Not to be excessively technical, but isn't that more of an areola slip? nt

[Kahuna]

42. It was both. I saw the nip. nt

[MADem]

48. I must need new glasses! nt

[bullwinkle428]

22. Some clown in the comments section accused liberals of writing

the letters of complaint!

[TroglodyteScholar]

50. Why is that so unbelievable?

We love to mock and satirize....

[Why Syzygy]

23. Nipples are 'ungodly'?

Not when your god is Sophia. She made nipples and is very pleased with them.

[krabigirl]

25. what the heck is wrong with some prudes? Seriously, get a life if this bothers you.

[tblue37]

38. Parodies, I'm, sure! nt

[efhmc]

26. May go as a nipple for Halloween. They are

sooooooo scary.

[GreenPartyVoter]

30. LOL Watch out for breast feeding tots. You might get mauled!

[PRETZEL]

27. show of hands

how many of you saw that on the nite it originally happened?

I didn't. I wasn't looking at her boobs, were the people who saw it looking at them?

If this had happened to one of the younger ladies or one of the pro's would the same outrage be shown?

[Arugula Latte]

29. On the positive side, "Nipple Slip" would make a good name for a band. nt

[Pacifist Patriot]

33. Too right.

[hamsterjill]

32. Where's their Godly sense of forgiveness?

As much as I despise Nancy Grace, I don't think she nip slipped on purpose. I think it was an accident because of the activity she was engaged in. Her costume was not all that revealing.

These people need to get a life. They need some REAL problems to worry about.

[Fantastic Anarchist]

34. Get a life, people!

It's a fucking nipple. Everyone's got one, two even.

[KamaAina]

36. Chandler Bing has three

remember his "nubbin"?

[Fantastic Anarchist]

45. LOL! Yes, I do. I say, "The more, the merrier!"

Bring me your nipples!

[gratuitous]

35. Sounds like some folks are feeding Nancy Grace some of her own rhetoric

I'm guessing old Nance doesn't much like it.

[MADem]

49. You are probably right--she can be pretty unforgiving. NT

[tblue37]

37. Those sound like obvious parodies of RW comments.

But of course RW comments are so extreme that it's hard to tell real ones from parodies.

Poe's Law, anyone?

[14thColony]

39. "Nipple private"?

I wasn't aware there was a rank system for those.

Hers have been around long enough to have at least made Nipple Sergeant by now, I would have thought.

[Ganja Ninja]

40. As if just watching her gyrate wasn't enough to cause psychological trauma.

[RegieRocker]

43. That is the truth!

44. About a dozen viewers complain about this crap...

I wonder how many thousands of people have complained to the FCC about the bias and lies that have dominated the airwaves since Reagan abolished the Fairness Doctrine and Clinton failed to make good on his campaign promise to restore it.

[JoePhilly]

46. he he he ... you said "nipple" ... he he he

Sorry ... couldn't help it.

[Iggo]

47. Has she had a booger slip yet?

[Gregorian]

51. Censorship isn't about children. It's to keep adults from being embarrassed.

At least this is what I've always thought.

[Spirochete]

53. One of the less offensive things

she's ever done, and the complaints start rolling in...
