Nashville prudery

Nashville bar blacks out nipples on menus:

Nude women have been on the menu at The Sutler for years, but the Nashville pub covered up the 19th-century Victorian photos after being warned they might be too racy for state law.

The Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission decided Wednesday that only one photo showing a woman's genital area was off-limits, but by then every nipple on the menus had been covered in black marker.

I can't find it now, but I seem to remember linking to an article ages ago where some college women got off of an indecent exposure charge because technically their genitals weren't actually visible...
