New Yorker Creates ‘Nipplegate’ With Facebook

The New Yorker’s cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff wrote an article depicting how the magazine’s cartoon was temporarily banned on Facebook A Mick Stevens cartoon violated the social networking site’s community standards on “Nudity and Sex.” Stevens redrew the cartoon, he said, “but the gain in clothes caused too great a loss in humor.” He then stated that Facebook has different standards when it comes to males and females. As “the guidelines say ‘male nipples are ok.’ It’s the ‘female nipple bulges’ that are the problem.” Wow Facebook, what a double-standard!
