Relax and Enjoy

The Slitherly D is concerned with whether and how he might help a young woman mend her sartorial ways:

In the middle of a law school class, surrounded by 80 of her peers, she sits with a vacant expression displaying nearly a full square foot of conservative cut bikini bottom (rainbow striped today, for those keeping score). Most days one can see the bottom seam on her right thigh. Yes, really.

Will Baude in his usual thorough way when dealing with such matters comes to the conclusion that Slitherly should abstain from advising the lady.
I’m with Will on this and suggest that Slitherly if he really must pay attention to her undergarments instead of the lecture simply relax and enjoy the view.
Update: Dylan responds to Will here.

Earlier today Zombyboy noted:

Blog traffic is up quite a bit today, but not for any good reason. Apparently, the world is pretty curious about …

Well, traffic seemed pretty normal to me until about 4 hours ago (1:00 AM GMT) when something I posted yesterday made it to number 2 for a certain set of google search terms and started a minor googlanche.
I don’t expect to get any repeat visitors out of this group either. Darn.
Update (2/5) Interest in this subject is ongoing. The above mentioned googlanche continues and has expanded to include Yahoo and MSN which are two search sources that normally don’t show up here very often.

FCC headed in Wrong Direction

Atrios states:

Some day our country is going to have to take a long hard look at itself and wonder why it tolerates massive amounts of violence on TV, but a single Boob is capable of driving us collectively insane.

And Jaquandor asks the same quesion this way:

why are we so incredibly tolerant of things in our popular culture like bullets shredding bodies, limbs being severed, and massive explosions killing hundreds — and yet so incredibly scandalized by a wide-angled shot, lasting for mere seconds, of a female breast whose nipple isn’t even exposed?

The FCC, to the extent it should do anything at all, would do well to ‘take a long hard look’ at this issue.
