Dead Or Alive 5 Tournament Places Soft Ban on Overly Sexy Costumes

So was any part of the game not banned, then?

As a franchise, Dead or Alive is pretty notorious for its fixation on its female characters' bodies—which, to be fair, is a very deliberately earned reputation given that the game has a "OMG Breast Motion" button that does exactly what you'd expect it to do. But FreeStepDodge, one of the most prominent DOA online tournaments, wants to do its best to turn everyone's attention away from the cleavage and back to the fighting mechanics. Will it work? Probably not, I bet.

Game of Thrones Costumer: Nipple Armor Was an Accident

Just a nip—I mean slip up.

by Susana Polo Dec 8th

When leaked pictures of Game of Thrones' infamous Sand Snakes surfaced, we were shocked and aghast to see that not only did they have a separate indentation for each boob, they also appeared to have the most dreaded of armor ornamentation: nipples. Costume designer Michele Clapton wants everybody to know that those nipples were a big shock to her as well.

Why The “Third Boob Lady” Hoax Is Still Incredibly Compelling

Surprise! We made a dumb internet prank about feminism.

by Victoria McNally Sep 23rd

Yesterday the story of Jasmine Tridevil, a Florida woman who reportedly had a third breast augmented onto her body through plastic surgery, went viral all over the Internet yesterday. It's totally made up, of course. But something about Tridevil's made-up reasons for getting the made-up surgery rang surprisingly true for us.

The Japanese Have Invented Ice Bras As a Result of the Busted Nuclear Reactor. To Keep Breasts Cool. Okay.

Today in Boobs

Yes, there is more important news about President Barack Obama expressing his public support for marriage equality. But these are bras with ice in them. They are from Japan, and they were created in response to the shutdown of the country's nuclear reactors following the Fukushima catastrophe. This means that Japanese citizens are encouraged to avoid using air conditioners. Finally -- women will have a way to keep their breasts cool and nipples erect for days on end. Gentlemen, consider this a consolation prize while you sweat your balls off, because there is no such contraption for you ... yet.

Boobies Wearing Costumes! [NSFW]

Today in Boobs

by Jamie Frevele Feb 27th

Okay, so, those are a pair of (blue-footed) boobies, dancing at their own personal dance party. But that's not what this post is about. This post is about breasts. Glorious female breasts, in costumes. Breasts that are not doing anything sexy, not nursing babies, just wearing costumes and being hilarious. Because boobies are kinda funny, and it's about damn time we celebrated it. But like I said, there are pictures of breasts after the jump, and while they are in costume, they are still breasts, and you might want to be aware of that if you're reading at work.

So, this is nothing new. Except for the extreme excitement! With the yank of a string, you too can stop making frowny faces over your boobs having the nerve to not merge and become one cleavagey mound! Just a quick pull and ZOOM! You too, can experience a wonderful sheen of sweat trapped between your smushed up body parts! Instant ass-on-chest! Because that is beauty! "Poor girl, with her dowdy collared shirt. Here's a tissue to stuff under it! It will shame the fat out of your stomach and into your boobs, like a cross between a toothpaste tube and a butterfly!" Well that's five minutes of your life you won't get back in hurry. (BuzzFeed via The Hairpin)
