"Sexy women would 'happen' to be topless in the 1970s movies for no better reason than that everyone agreed, including themselves, that their breasts were a genuine pleasure to regard — the most beautiful naturally occurring shapes in nature, I believe. Now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons. There's been such a comeback for the strategically positioned bed sheet, you'd think we were back in the 1950s."A nude character gets out of bed and wraps up in a sheet pulled from the bed to avoid exposing nudity to a sex-partner and, coincidentally, to the viewer. Somebody, somewhere, may have actually done this in real life. Once. Maybe. It's of course largely illogical, as they've already seen each other completely naked. It's equally illogical when a character is actually all alone—although a chilly bedroom might be a possible explanation. In which case, you might expect her to wrap not a sheet but the whole duvet about herself - or to be wearing a big thick passion-killing flannelette nightie, which would be more typical of a woman sleeping alone on a cold night. Also, when a man and a woman are nude in bed together, the sheet falls to the man's waist, but covers the woman's bust. Somebody in TV land must be selling L-shaped sheets. This version of the trope is also known as the His 'n' Hers Bedsheet. Another way to serve the same purpose is to leave the actress' bra on (which is probably just as rare in real life as dragging the sheet off with you). Sarah Jessica Parker was criticized during the run of Sex and the City for relying on these techniques to avoid topless scenes, which all three of her co-stars performed. Even in cable shows such as Entourage and Californication, which freely show topless women, sex scenes frequently feature sheets tightly wrapped around the waists of the two actors simulating coitus in a manner that would be difficult and time-consuming to accomplish in real life. There is also "Magic Boxers/Knickers", where after a night of passion, a character gets out of bed with their underwear on. This can actually be detrimental in some cases. Two characters wake up together after a drunken night of debauchery, and start to panic, wondering whether or not they've had sex, meanwhile the audience is wondering how they think it's possible they could have had sex, since both characters still have their underwear (and sometimes more) on. There are occasions where the use of the modesty bedsheet might be logical to a story. If, say, one of the participants has regret or for an attack of the modesties. Also occurs outside strictly sexual settings, when characters who really should be nude in the context keep their underwear on. Examples: a corpse on a slab in the morgue being nude except for the underpants, and bathing/showering with underwear or swimwear on, even when the character is alone. While this is a censorship trope, it is also a Fanservice one- a woman wearing solely a bedsheet is, well, a woman wearing solely a bedsheet... Whether you believe it or not, this trope is actually Older Than Feudalism: There are numerous Roman wall paintings depicting couples during sex - with the woman wearing a brassiere, because it would've been considered lascivious for her to show her breasts. To her own husband. During sex. See also Scenery Censor, Modesty Towel, Modesty Rags, and Right Through His Pants. Compare Toplessness from the Back, another way of showing nudity without showing nudity.

text: 'Republi-C*nt': Ted Cruz Rips HBO Over 'Misogynist' 'True Blood' Episode Print article Send a Tip by John Nolte 22 Jul 2014 post a comment Using Facebook, Texas Republican Senator Ted Cruz responded to a Sunday night episode of HBO's "True Blood." The show revolved around a vampire bloodbath at a fictional Ted Cruz fundraising event held at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. The episode is laced with insults aimed at the GOP and coins the term "Republi-cunt." Cruz labeled the episode "misogynist and profanity-ridden" and then added that he was surprised "HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends...." Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO's True Blood vampire show would have to be near the top of the list. Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a "Ted Cruz fundraiser." Well, I'm sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends.... Tuesday morning Breitbart News reported that HBO apparently tried to sucker former-Alaska Governor Sarah Palin into appearing on the show. Follow John Nolte on Twitter @NolteNC

[top: zara shorts: vintage (similar style here) bag: rebecca minkoff (love this color & this bag) shoes: zara sunnies: celine (similar here & budget friendly here) jeweles: jennifer meyer
I've been looking for another pair of cutoff shorts for ages, and finally found these vintage babes that fit perfectly. They're a good length, aren't too frayed, and actually fit! My other pair (which I love) are like four sizes too big, so I always have to wear a belt with 'em, even when I don't want to. What I love most about cutoffs is that you can literally throw on anything and your outfit will look good. I don't know how, but it's true. I've already worn these more times than I'd like to admit, and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

I'm going to throw this out there.
Danzo exits.
Madara enters.
Your thoughts?
I'm going to throw this out there.
Danzo exits.
Madara enters.
Your thoughts?
Thats a decent theory though... but Danzou fleed out of the fear of the repercussions of his treachery versus sasuke so unless Madara knew well ahead of time that Danzou would purposely try to deceive mifune (which as powerful as madara is i doubt) then it puts a hole in your theory. What also puts a hole in it is that hell yea they'll survive!! The old man and the bitch MAYBE but I really dont think the Raikage and Gaara will die!
And @ Judas: Danzou enters, sits, manipulates a large group of people the SAME TIME as Madara sits and has a convo with Kakashi, Naruto and Yamato. Whats you through on that?
"He is now declaring his words to the WORLD!"
Reason why Naruto would beat Sasuke.
Naruto beat Pein.
Pein does boom boom easily. Nuclear boom boom may I add.
All the kages die by Pein.
Pein dies from Naruto (say what you want)
Naruto wins.
It's one thing to take the lead. It's another to be an idiot about it. Sure he's strong and confidence is good but hotheadedness has ALWAYS shown to be the wrong thing to do. Especially in this manga.
Judging from Darui there seems to be some strong shinobi in the cloud village. I don't know though. We really don't know how strong the Tsuchikage is. Did you see that Akatmisuchi guy or whatever. He had, what looked like a stone monster, come out of his mouth. They both sorta escaped Zetsu pretty easily. And Sasuke was down and out when he used that jutsu.
By the way. What does that jutsu mean? The one he uses at the end.
Krazy, that's just how Kishi presents the story to us, time as we know in Narutoverse is not linear, meaning that Madara talking to them could have been before / after / whenever he feels like it.
And considering Madara is an expert in space time Jutsu, and can "disappear" his body at will. It wouldn't surprise me that he can be at two places at once. Obviously this is not what i want to happen, but it just seems far too convenient that every time Danzo exits, Madara appears somewhere else. Sure there was that 1 scene where they are both "There" but as i mentioned it doesnt have to mean that its at the same time.
On the opposite end, it is unusual for "Madara/Danzo" to say to this leaf bodyguards that he hasn't fought in a long while (That scene where Danzo kills a load of useless ninja).
Just throwing some ideas out there again.
^ Granted.. i just discredit that theory (alot of people think so as well not just you) because it seems to convinient and obvious.
Darui has a Bloodline Limit as well. That technique, Storm Element: Laser Circus, is a combination of water and lightning.
"He is now declaring his words to the WORLD!"
^ True... i think its time for you to personally pay mister kishimoto a visit or write him a letter Witcher. Tell him we've had enough of Naruto's under development.
"He is now declaring his words to the WORLD!"
@yazen: the way i see it is that tsuchikage is a dwarf and akatmisuchi is possibly a son of a stone troll... narutoverse just got a slight touch of tolkienverse
it's more like we've had enough of him hiding naruto's true development.... secret jutsu.. itachi's crow... the frog key... years of training with a sennin.. just let it all out will ya.^ True... i think its time for you to personally pay mister kishimoto a visit or write him a letter Witcher. Tell him we've had enough of Naruto's under development.
Agree with you there ivanov. All those stored powerups are stacking up. When's Kishi actually going to release them? C'mon, at least one? The final stage of the storyline's started after all.
On the jutsu : What do you expect? For them to make them dragons even BIGGER?!?! I personally don´t think it´s already DBZ level ( Okay, the Moon thingie Pain did was kinda imba =P) , but Darui´s attack (even though it surprised me) and Tsuchi´s attacks are high level jutsu and I think they´d be still acceptable ^^
But I really am curious about his intention on revealing the plans for the Moons blablabal xD
You have a point, but still the Raikage survived till now xD So he must be suited for the job (don´t forget, he can take on Killerbee ....)
Who do you mean?Zetsu?or Sasuke?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window.[1] The term was coined around the time of an incident in Prague Castle in the year 1618. The word comes from the Latin de- (down or away from) and fenestra (window or opening).[2] Likewise, it can also refer to the condition of being thrown out of a window, as in "The Defenestration of Ermintrude Inch".[3]
While the act of defenestration connotes the forcible or peremptory removal of an adversary, and the term is sometimes used in just that sense,[4] it also suggests breaking the windows in the process (de- also means removal). Although defenestrations can be fatal due to the height of the window through which a person is thrown or throws oneself or due to lacerations from broken glass, the act of defenestration need not carry the intent or result of death.
The term originates from two incidents in history, both occurring in Prague. In 1419, seven town officials were thrown from the Town Hall, precipitating the Hussite War. In 1618, two Imperial governors and their secretary were tossed from Prague Castle, sparking the Thirty Years War. These incidents, particularly in 1618, were referred to as the Defenestrations of Prague and gave rise to the term and the concept.
The word root derives from Latin fenestra for "window".
|This section needs additional citations for verification. (May 2011)
Historically, the word defenestration referred to an act of political dissent. Notably, the Defenestrations of Prague in 1419 and 1618 helped to trigger prolonged conflict within Bohemia and beyond. Some Catholics ascribed the survival of those defenestrated at Prague Castle in 1618 to divine intervention.
Self-defenestration (autodefenestration) is the act of jumping, propelling oneself, or causing oneself to fall, out of a window. This phenomenon played a notable role in such events as the Triangle Shirtwaist fire of 1911, the 9-11 terror attacks on the World Trade Center, and other disasters. In December 1840, Abraham Lincoln and 4 other Illinois legislators jumped out of a window in a political maneuver designed to prevent a quorum on a vote that would have eliminated the Illinois State Bank.
Self-defenestration is also a method of suicide. In the United States, self-defenestration is among the least common methods of committing suicide (typically less than 2% of all reported suicides in the United States for 2005).[12]
In Hong Kong, jumping is the most common method (from any location) of committing suicide, accounting for 52.1% of all reported suicide cases in 2006, and similar rates for the years prior to that.[13] The Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention of the University of Hong Kong believes that it may be due to the abundance of easily accessible high-rise buildings in Hong Kong (implying that much of the jumping is out of windows or from roof tops).[14] Recent notables choosing this method of departure are actor Leslie Cheung and magistrate Michael C Jenkins. Population density is such that it is not uncommon for the defenestratee to kill or maim a passerby upon arrival at the pavement below.
There is an urban legend in the U.S. that many Wall Street investors autodefenestrated during the 1929 stock market crash.[15]
In his poem Defenestration, R.P. Lister wrote with amusement over the creation of so exalted a word for so basic a concept. The poem narrates the thoughts of a philosopher undergoing defenestration. As he falls, the philosopher considers why there should be a particular word for the experience, when many equally simple concepts don't have specific names. In an evidently ironic commentary on the word, Lister has the philosopher summarize his thoughts with, "I concluded that the incidence of logodaedaly was purely adventitious."[16][17]
The play Accidental Death of an Anarchist by Dario Fo was inspired by the death of Giuseppe Pinelli while being held by the Milan police.
In Jennifer Paynter's Mary Bennet, a young Mary, enraged by George Rovere's insulting mutterings about her poor vision, and his spying on her sister Elizabeth and Mr Coates kissing, she was tempted to push him from the open schoolroom window of Netherfield.[18]
There is a range of hacker witticisms referring to "defenestration". For example, the term is sometimes used humorously among GNU/Linux users to describe the act of removing Microsoft Windows from a computer.[19][20]
While watching The Screaming Skull, Tom Servo quips "Can I interest you in some defenestration?" as the main character's husband leads her towards a window.
|Look up defenestration in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
