Sideboob of Shame

The Huffington Post has a whole section devoted to sideboobs. What more to add?

Sideboobs!
Sideboobs!

The Huffington Post, the online news and aggregation behemoth owned by Greek heiress Arianna Huffington, has a sideboob vertical. That is, it has a part of it's website dedicated to sideboobs: pictures of breasts (largely, we imagine, women's breasts), from the side. 

Sample headlines: 

PHOTO: Miley Cyrus Flashes Side Boob, Talks Sex Scenes & Losing Her Virginity, PHOTOS: Gwyneth Shows Off Some Sideboob In Sheer DressPHOTOS: Miley Cyrus Flashes Major Side Boob (seriously, there are twelve stories on the front page and three of them are about the 19-year-old pop sensation).

Basically, if you've worn a backless dress that's a bit too loose, you've probably exposed sideboob.

The section, with the URL www.huffingtonpost.com/news/sideboob (yes, it's filed under "news", at least in the address. It's under "entertainment" in the main hierarchy), isn't technically a vertical in HuffPo's own parlance. They reserve that term for the absolute top-level divisions of politics, world, sport and so on:

Instead, the site refers to it as a "big news" page, identifiable by the big name of the page along the top:

Which means that sideboob isn't as important as, say "politics" or "style", but is instead at the same level as "drug violence":

or "Barack Obama":

 

The web will eat itself.

I think the Paparazzi should leave them alone. People should mind their own business and not interfere with others. I would of hated it

That is nothing! I remember when the New Statesman built an ENTIRE SEPARATE WEBSITE which just had pictures of unusual looking celebrity toes! was so disgusted as Medhi Hasan, Steven Baxter and Helen Lew-Hat passed judgement upon the weird creepy toes of Tom Cruise (webbed), Helena Bonham-Carter (ten-per-foot) and Jack Straw (no toes, just a flat end-of-foot). When will this madness end! I do not even dare to wear sandals this summer for fear that a beady eyed NS paparazzi will leap out and capture my one strange toe with a giant nail! Beware!
