Angelina Jolie nipple outrage
"I wanted my nipples to be there to see."
The Flea shudders to think at the search-engine traffic the title of this post will generate. My implacable commitment to reporting stupid archaeology-related news means I must face the consequences.
Angelina Jolie has spoken of her anger that her picture for the Tomb Raider poster has been retouched to remove her nipples. The actress's protruding nipples were removed from the posters after producers feared they could prove offensive and spark a string of complaints, according to Austrian magazine News.
Jolies explains how changes to her high-protein diet in preparation for the first Tomb Raider film explain changes to her bust-size in the new one. I can say honestly I had not noticed. The Flea watches these movies for the archaeology!

I just kind of thought it was funny because there was a fear that people would be offended by, of all things, nipples. Nipples! Clothed nipples, at that! What?

I'm offended that anyone would find nipples offensive...

Forgive my ignorance, but aren't they 'digitally' enhanced. Diet? Huh?

I too find it mysterious that nipples should offend. The mysteries of bust-enhancement, however, lie beyond my expertise.

She paid for 'em, let 'em protrude. It's only right.

I find the notion of increasing one's protein intake increasing one's breast size intriguing...

It looks like her right nipple is pointing forward, her left nipple is pointing up. Did the protein diet do that?

"High Protein diet"?
Just so long as she didn't need her stomach pumped, afterwards...
