The WrestleMania banner on the side of the Lynx
building
in downtown Orlando shows wrestlers without
their
nipples as a city ordinance prohibits the
display of nipples.
It seems World Wrestling Entertainment has
once again come face-to-face with governmental regulations.
In an article posted this morning by
THE ORLANDO SENTINEL, reporter Scott Maxwell states the
following:
Anybody who's ever seen a
professional wrestler knows their bodies don't look like most folks'.
But
the wrestlers featured on a massive sign in downtown Orlando look even more
unusual.
They're missing nipples.
Yep. John Cena, Triple H, Randy
Orton and even Big Show. All nipple-less.
It's rather
unsettling.
And Ken-like.
Even more unsettling is the fact that
government is partly responsible for the missing areolas on the banner that
hangs on the side of the Lynx office building, facing
Interstate 4, and promotes this weekend's
WrestleMania.
Mayor
Buddy Dyer claimed to have the, um,
skinny.
"Apparently there's an ordinance that prohibits them from being
displayed," he said.
"For men's nipples?" I replied, immediately becoming
uncomfortable about discussing such a thing with Buddy.
He shrugged,
saying, "It does seem a little overboard."
It turns out, it
was.
There is, in fact, no city law that bans the display of male chests.
In fact, the exact same image can be spotted -- with nipples aplenty -- on Lynx
buses.
Comparing the two pictures is like playing a disturbing game of
"Spot the Differences."
What happened, said a similarly uncomfortable
city spokesman, Carson Chandler, was that city staffers asked the WWE and folks
to create banners that weren't too provocative. And somewhere along the way, the
nipples were airbrushed out before the giant sign reached Orlando.
Yes,
airbrushed . . . which at least means they didn't involve hubcap-sized
pasties.
