WWE Puts the Squeeze on Man Nipples

Posted Mar 28th 2008 5:55PM by TMZ Staff

Nipplegate 2008 has broken out in Florida! Wrestlers John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton and Big Show are all proudly baring their nipple-free chests on a huge banner in downtown Orlando. Wait, what?

City officials met with some WWE suits to figure out how to keep the wrestling poster from looking "too provocative." The outcome - the WWE slammed, er, airbrushed the nipples into oblivion. Billboard malfunction!

According to the Orlando Sentinel, Mayor Buddy Dyer liked the nipple-free poster and added that there was some sort of city ordinance that banned public display of male nipples. For the love of Janet Jackson! But according to the city's press secretary no such ordinance exists.

Only one banner was targeted for nipple eradication. However, buses all over town are still cruising the streets baring the original posters of the wrestlers --male nipples and all. Flaunt 'em if you got 'em!

46. Nipples....is that an issue at the top of the mayor's list? There are people hungry, children not educated, drugs, crime, civil issues and the issue of nipples is front/center?

I am a proud American who has lived all over the country and overseas and I have to admit we are too uptight about the human body. Lets put it in perspective...boobs feed kids and are pleasent to look at, maybe not WWE boobs but come on people.

...and we ask breast feeding moms to cover up as tables of ugly people stuff thier fat faces in malls around America???

50. As a man with giant marshmallow shaped nipples I find this story frustrating. I only wish someone could airbrush my nipples away. Life is hard enough without giant marshmallow nipples. I only ever tell the truth.
