first you tell us to tint them, then to conceal them. i'm getting mixed messages about my nipples.

Via Jezebel comes this infuriating commercial for a new bra made by Bali and sporting something called "concealers": flower-shaped (of course it would have to be shaped like a fucking flower) depressions right smack where your nipples would be. We're told this is to conceal "flaws".

Excuse me, when did my nipples--a perfectly natural feature of any normal human female body; one, I might add, that serves an actual biological purpose, unlike stupid useless man nipples--become "flaws"?

Newsflash: Women don't actually resemble Barbie. Our feet aren't permanently arched into a high heel-ready position, most of us have hair somewhere on our bodies, and we have nipples.

Hey, here's a radical thought: If you're somehow offended by the suggestion that I have nipples, or consider them a repulsive flaw, then don't stare at my fucking tits.
