Not wishing to inflame the passions or offend the sensibilities of its delicate viewers, the censors at Channel 10 News have taken a page from the John Ashcroft playbook. In a story on the recent rash of copper thefts, they reference the theft of an antique, nymph-and-satyr statue (seen here) from the yard of the Edgewood Manor B & B. In the first minute of the accompanying video there are two shots of the statue in question, and they have pixilated out the nymph’s naked breast. Wouldn’t want to pander to all the copper-nipple fetishists out there (you know who you are).
