Digg is known for definitively dropping the “ban hammer” on those who post content that includes nipples. Apparently, the rules have changed.
This screenshot from a video has been modified to a PG-13 level, but the original video does include visible nipples that are not-so-hidden. While I have nothing against the submitter (nor anything against the video) I feel the double standard here. The content was pretty darn funny, as the nearly-4000 Diggs clearly says, but it just doesn’t belong on Digg.

“ARGGGHHHH A NIPPLE!” *my heart, my heart*.
So what? we all have them, some are hairier than others but we’ve all got them, big fizz, get over it peeps.
Wolfie!
Right on, Wolfie! I agree, nothing wrong with nipples. My only beef is that they’ve permanently banned people in the past. My contention is that they banned these people because they were “power users” and used the nipples as an excuse.
Just because you can see a little nipple… does that make it “Porn”??
Digg is not wrong for allowing this in my opinion.
This is a montage…
