Last night, in the middle of my feverish delirium, I decided to play around and take a picture of one of my nipples, just for fun. My head and bones had been hurting for two days straight, and I've been pretty much in bed bored out of my mind. Under these circumstances, it is natural one does things like taking pictures of ones nipples.
I took the best close up I could, and then I added some effects with my phone. I called it 'El Carelo', which means something like 'The Headlight'. In Venezuela, when we notice that 'a girl is cold', if you know what I mean, we say 'she has the headlights turned on'.
Well, I went to bed, and woke up like 5 or 6 times during the night. All because of nightmares that I believe were caused by all the crap I ate last night. When I finally gave up on sleeping and decided to log on to MySpace I saw I had a message. Wonderful! People don't contact me that much anymore, not even to thank me for my awesome 'Happy Mornings' and 'NewMusic4U' bulletins, so messages are always welcomed. What I found was a message from the MySpace Help Desk. It read as following:
We had to remove an image (or images) from your account because they violated our Terms of Use. Our site is for people as young as 13, so we can't have certain kinds of pics (nude/sexually explicit, violence,

Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for my understanding? No, I don't fucking understand. I see millions of cheasy shirtless guys and barely naked women pictures all the time. I see parts of female nipples, and sometimes I almost see their cooschs. But it's me who is violating the Terms? Am I also gonna be banned for writing the word 'fuck' on MySpace? Fuck that!
So it's OK to show two male nipples and almost naked women and gore and people puking, but it's not OK to show one single distorted male nipple? Nope, I don't understand.
I remember the Superbowl incident with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. I was watching it live when it happened. When I saw it my brain didn't have the time to think 'oh' before I forgot about it, but the next day the incident was blown out of proportion by 'the offended parents of America'. It was nothing! Your kids are not gonna become perverts for seeing a nipple. It's part of the human anatomy, and lots of people suck on one when they are babies. What's turning your kids into freaks is your overprotection, because the minute you turned something like that into a taboo, you are planting the weird seed represion on them, making the natural unnatural. Yes, there are not supposed to be tits at the superbowl, just a bunch of gorillas hitting each other, so just don't invite these artists next time, and forget about it. You don't need to turn it into a big deal.
Well, whatever, I don't care how you educate your kids, I know how I will educate mine, and they are going to be cooler than yours.
Now, here's the famous nipple pic (with a link to download the picture below, just in case MySpace also bans it again).
Clarification: When I write, I don't prepare or organize my ideas, I just write what I would say if I was talking to you in person, so sometimes my blogs end up a little messy. I don't even proof-read what I write before posting it so you may find grammatical mistakes and poorly written sentences. Sometimes I'll read my blogs a day or two after publishing them and I may re-write things that weren't too clear and any embarrassing grammatical mistake. Also, English is not my first language, so I apologize if reading my blogs become a struggle. Of course, if this is the case, I would imagine you wouldn't continue reading.
