Firefighter punished for revealing his nipples on charity calendar

Fire officials in Philadelphia said a firefighter was reassigned after "showing nipples" in a picture taken for a charity calendar.

Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers said Jack Slivinski, 31, has been removed from his position with Engine 1 and is being investigated for violating several protocols when he posed for photographer Katherine Kostreva's charity calendar.



"We get letters from children. They look up to us," Ayers said. "We cannot allow them to be showing nipples in photographs of Philadelphia firefighters."

Bill Gault, president of Fire Fighters Local 22, said he wants Slivinski returned to his position. "They've stopped giving him overtime and detailed him out to some other unit. It's foolish ... I just want them to give the kid his spot back," Gault said.

Shocking news - men have nipples! More shocking news at eleven: water is wet.

So, now it's also men's nipples that are threatening the children of America?

Would that picture have been appropriate, according to these ridiculous prudes, if he had been wearing a bra? Or those nipple cover things Janet Jackson once so famously wore? Oh, that... Never mind.

I've got a position for him.

I thought I recognised that fountain. I'm embarrassed to be in one of their suburbs right now.
