iReporter Phil Hansen protested Facebook with this image of himself made up of his own nipples.
By now, you’ve probably heard about the latest controversy on Facebook. It’s not the war on terror or the war on scantily-clad profile pics of barely legal “18-year-olds.” It’s the war on nipples.
The social networking site is under fire for its policy of removing photographs on the site that show mothers nursing their babies. The company claims breastfeeding photos violate its decency code.
The controversy perked interest on December 27th, when 11,000 people worldwide held a virtual protest on Facebook by posting breastfeeding profile pictures and updating their status lines to “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!” A nurse-in was also held at the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto, California.

A childhood friend of Casey Anthony spoke out Thursday on CNN’s Nancy Grace about what Cindy Anthony told her the day after Caylee was reported missing.
“The morning of the 16th, when I talked to Cindy, she told me that she believes Casey was guilty of something. She did not know what, but she didn’t care if it meant that Casey ended up behind bars for the rest of her life as long as she got Caylee home,” said Brittany Schieber.
Friday at 10:00am, the State Attorney’s Office is releasing the 2 hour long videotaped interview, with Caylee’s grandmother Cindy which was done two weeks after she reported Caylee missing. They will also release text messages, hundreds of documents and cell phone records.
Schieber also said that from June 9 until Casey was arrested in July, she was constantly texting her about going out and she could not understand how Casey had so much free time when she had a 2-year-old daughter.
Prosecutors are also releasing Casey’s computer records, which show that Casey deleted Yahoo mail and some photographs of Caylee.

Earlier reports had said Tubbs Jones had died.
