Since when did store mannequins sport nipples?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

Am I just really slow on the uptake? What need is there for such a blatant display of nipple? Do people look at the dummy and think 'well, I like that flimsy shirt, but how well would it obscure my nipples?' Huh? Huh? For the good of Christian God-fearing society, someone better tell John Ashcroft. First the Super Bowl, now this!

1. Decades. They've been doing it for decades.

I remember way back when it started, there was comment. LONG TIME AGO.

2. Man, I am slow on the uptake.

3. I, for one, think mannequins should have complete genitalia

[Screaming Lord Byron]

4. It's logical. It's anatomical.

You look at the pants, and you think 'yeah, but how do the goods sit in there?'

5. The goods, the bads

And the uglies

6. Exactly. Pants are often tighter than they appear on mannequins

And often there is that phenomenon that occurs when you sit down and the pants are too loose, when you get this weird bulge of fabric that looks like an erection. But it isn't; it's just that the pants are loose.
