A TV News Show Blurred the Cubist Tits in a Picasso Painting

Fox 5 New York ran a story yesterday about the $179 million sale of Pablo Picasso's legendary painting Les Femmes d'Alger and, being the cultural pillars of morality that they are, they took it upon themselves to blur out anything that could come close to an approximation of a tit in the painting. "We decided to blur the nude portions so that we could show it to you, on-air," Fox's co-anchor Dari Alexander explained during the segment, Mediaite reports. By "nude portions," Fox means "stylized cubist boobies."

When New York magazine art critic/ace social media user/apparent breast fanatic Jerry Saltz saw the censored Picasso, he was sufficiently enraged, and took to the internet to air his grievances. "How sexually sick are conservatives & Fox News?" he wrote.

To be fair, Fox aren't total prudes. At least they left the cubist butts unscathed.
