Nipples? Really?

So, I was going through this pretty upscale mall on my way to the local AMC to watch a movie last night (Norbit, Eddie Murphy, very funny) and I was looking into the store windows as I went along. Now, I noticed something at the D&G window; they had some mannequins male and female and one of the female mannequins was wearing a tight shirt. She had nipples. Pointy ones that were blatantly obvious. You could have cut glass with one of her fake breasts.

Why does a mannequin need nipples? Is it having mannequin babies and feeding them mannequin milk? Is this to emphasize how the shirt would look on a woman with nipples just like that who decided to go bra-less?

I've decided something from that. Our society is becoming more accepting of what were considered socially immoral taboos. Think about it, there's a Canadian movie called 'Shortbus' which is -apparently- a porno with plot. Girls (younger and younger) are dressing to conceal the least amount of skin possible. Men wearing hats don't tip them to ladies anymore and most of them (us) won't think of taking said hat off indoors.

Now, to be fair, not all of this is bad. We accept the gay community (at least, more so than before). We're starting to cut back on the amount of smoking we allow in public (I'm going to go into this one day). We allow our white daughters to date black men (even though most people still freak out a little inside).

So, maybe things are working. Maybe you just have to take the good along with the bad and the ugly (some of those girls mentioned above should not be wearing those clothes. The burka solves that problem, now convincing them to wear it... hmmm.).

Maybe...

But nipples on a freaking mannequin? Now that's just wrong.
