Nickelodeon Cartoon -- Topless Female Cartoon Character on the Boob Tube

A popular Nickelodeon cartoon featured full-on big, exposed boobs ... and Nick has yanked it from the air.

The topless cartoon chick was in the background of the March 5th episode of "Oggy and the Cockroaches."

One parent whose child spotted the XXX pic on TV tells us he was extremely unhappy and was forced to have a female anatomy talk with his 8-year-old son. It wasn't fun.

We called Nickelodeon for comment. So far, no word back, but it looks like they know ... the episode has been pulled from Nick's site.

I tawt I taw a puddy tat ... or something like that.

Yeah but actually showing breasts with nipples is more serious than sexual puns that may go over the kids' heads..a friend of mine he loved watching the Simpsons with his 2-3 yr old boy...because Homer going "HHMMMM Making bacon" and then a thought balloon pops up over his head and shows Homer kneeling on the beach....with bacon in a fry pan over an open flame...

NOW WE adults know what the term making bacon really means...but the cartoon was done in a way where the adults got it one way and the YOUNG kids got it another......evidently this Nick cartoon could not be taken any way but one way.....

OOPS!
 
Personally I could stare at nipples all day long.....and children growing up do too.....

but for some reason, the PC/conservative sect believes nipples are offensive for anyone over the age of 1-2 yrs old (or after they stop breast feeding)...I love UK and the Sun newspaper 3rd page girl.......always a lovely up top view.....

Today I was out and about...stopped at a store and a mother with her older teen or 20something daughter was there...the daughter was wearing a form hugging halter top that draws your eyes to her chest......I had to force myself (being a normal red blooded heterosexual American male) from looking over at her...yet it begs the question too: IF they don't want to be looked at, why do they dress the way they do????? If she had been wearing a full shirt that did not show off her figure and breast line as it did, I would not have been drawn to it....(WHEW: luckily her mom did not catch me looking but then the mom was good looking too!!! LOL)...

Thats my story and Im sticking to it...
 
The bigger question that should be asked, is how did it make it to air in the first place. It seems pretty obvious that no one at Nickelodeon screened the episode before it began airing, and they have themselves to blame.
 
Oh no, cartoon boobies! It's the end of the world as we know it!

Seriously, if people knew how much silly stuff like this is snuck past them on a regular basis, the more conservative elements of society would have a fit of rage so bad you'd think someone had just purposefully run over their dog.
 
Seems from the timeslot (it airs weekdays at 3:30pm, when not many kids are home from school) that this is one of Nick's burn-off shows where they buy one terrible show in order to get another; Oggy has never done anything ratings-wise in the US (I remember it being on Fox Family. In 1998. Why is Nick buying a reboot of a show show only the lamest of Millenials cared about?!) and it seems to be have bought solely for lip service to calm cable companies who are tired of Nick being a SpongeBob repeat platform after Nick Jr. ends for the day and are looking for any excuse to pull it and the Viacom networks off like Suddenlink already did.

Clearly, Nick's standards and practices screwed up badly. Maybe the Viacom layoffs going on are making them nervous and they're letting a bunch of stuff through they usually don't.
 
All this reminds me a little of a (possibly apocryphal but funny) story I read about a newspaper in Milwaukee that, back in the 70's, ran a small square photo showing an area of skin with a nipple, and asked their readers for their opinion. They "got it"...and how! This went on for several days until the paper finally revealed the origin of the "nipple shot"...it had been cropped from an old photo of Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan!
 
These aren't really all that realistic looking, even by pornographic standards. I'll never understand what's supposed to be so horrifying about a child seeing a nipple. A conversation about female anatomy could have easily come up from an 8 year old seeing a younger sibling of their own or a friend breastfeeding.

Among some ultra-conservative sects, there's actually some irrational beliefs opposing breastfeeding, ignoring the physical and mental benefits that are agreed upon by most of science.
 
Breastfeeding is not always an option. Some babies have conditions they may need special formula prescribed for by a doctor to be bottle fed. Some babies just won't nurse. I don't know why but I have heard of that. My mother in the 50's bottle fed her children. It was out of convenience as well for her. Women had to work outside the home sometimes because "they needed the money". My mother was an RN. She said she would have rather stayed home with us but our house with 3 kids needed two incomes.. She did say one time that the attitude was that poor women breastfed. Bottle feeding was preferred. No breast exposure to the public either I guess.
 
If you look fast or hit the pause button, there are some boobs in Disney's Fantasia during the "Night on a Bald Mountain" segment
 
The way I see it, Nick teaches kids toilet and body humor, Cartoon Network teaches violence and profanity, ABC Family teaches "the birds and the bees," and you can come up with something for Disney. That's if the parents won't give their kiddos the messages.

Maybe Nick was impressed by the TV ratings in France, so they picked up the series.

The issue was to get worldwide rights for the show, Nickelodeon also had to carry it on their main network in each market on the first run, including the United States, even though they have no interest in airing it in the US. Usually with Nick's international acquisitions they can easily get some contract language in so that the run of a low-interest Euro show could be thrown on Nicktoons and quickly ignored in the States (this is done all the time for Nick's Australian teen shows, which get thrown onto TeenNick to fulfill American distribution terms). This time though the program's producers likely played hardball and insisted on a run for Oggy on the flagship Nickelodeon. Still was in a lousy timeslot, but it got on Nickelodeon, which few international shows can say, and that's all that counted for them.
