CBS asks Grammy stars to dress modest.

Prior the start of the 55th annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, CBS has sent an email to on-air talent regarding revealing wardrobe – a staple of the annual music awards show.

The memo reads in part: "Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible 'puffy' bare skin exposure."

If all the women dressed like that and the men showed up in scanty, revealing clothes. If I knew that was going to happen I might possibly watch the Grammy Awards - which I have never done before.

They're young, and have beautiful bodies. They'll find out the truth soon enough.

Of course, who knows if they've been invited--I kinda don't think that South Park is in the running for any Grammy award (best song by a cartoon character, maybe?).

They're inviting jokes with this Very Specific prohibition list. They're also inviting the usual cadre of envelope-pushers.

For 90+ years so far.

She don't need no stinkin' email to tell her how to put her damn clothes on.

Expect the men to come in wearing black tuxedo thongs and ... Geez, isn't that enough.
