In response to the Isthmus reader who said she found the American Apparel ad on the back cover of the Aug. 28 issue "pretty offensive" for featuring a woman whose nipples are barely visible through her shirt, and whose outfit is otherwise decent (Letters, 9/4/2014), I say this: Flip the paper over and on the cover you'll see a man with both nipples 100% visible, yet you don't seem to be bothered by that ("Are You Ready for Some Bucky?" 8/28/2014). I think your botched world view is a bigger issue than a woman literally being a woman. Yes, they have nipples.

Thank you for printing the letter to the editor about the American Apparel ads. I find them very disturbing, and it has long been difficult for me to ignore them when I pick up a copy of the paper. I love Isthmus so much and have read it for decades, and those full-page ads are the worst thing I've ever seen you print.
