Eva Mendes Angry that Nipples are Censored

So, anybody who knows me even slightly knows that Salma Hayek is my girl. I am sure that someday Salmita will see the queer light and become my wife, or at the very least, girlfriend. But until that day, I will settle for my other girl, Eva Mendes.

You see, Eva makes the news for all sorts of naughty things, for example, getting angry because her nipple was censored, while various forms of guns, violence and murder are given free reign over our television sets.

Eva Mendes is furious with the censor board for allowing violence on TV screens and not her Calvin Klein TV ad that featured a nipple slippage. Since the ad was pulled from U.S. TV networks last month (Aug08) before it aired, only few people have seen the Secret Obsession promo. The ad came under fire for being too provocative.

...

The actress admits she's a little upset the sexy ad won't be seen on TV, she said: "We can show guns everywhere and stuff but we can't show a woman's nipple; that's a bit backwards to me."

As a child of a former "make love not war" flower power hippy, I see Eva's point. As an eager girlfriend want-to-be of Eva's, I see her point even more. As a very sensible feminist, I have to wonder if maybe the point is to get rid of the guns and violence rather than increase consumer mentality around women's bodies.

Ai, such conflicts in my life. I hardly know what to do about them all.
