Nicki Minaj's nipple slip

Nipple slips used to be taken so seriously that it would signal the end of the artist's career (Where is Janet Jackson, by the way?). But these days all the wardrobe malfunction garners is a slap on the wrist from some conservative parent's group to which they give a measly apology and voila! all is forgiven.

"For the umpteenth time in recent memory a morning news show has included inappropriate content for children and families," said Parents Television Council president Tim Winter.

While performing on Good Morning America, Nicki Minaj's nipple popped out, leading ABC to issue a public apology to its viewers.

What? No fines issued? We're getting a little blasé about these slips, aren't we?

In fact, right next to a sex tape, nude snap and revealing a camel toe, it could be considered the next step towards superstardom. What does this say about our culture?
