If you're eating, it might be time for a pause.
To protest the return of The Sun's controversial topless Page 3 women, some men have been revealing their own nipples on Twitter.
Comedian Richard Herring kickstarted the campaign, asking men to submit photos of their chest to "swamp [The Sun's] timeline with nipples," and things only got hairier from there.
Hey @TheSunNewspaper Delighted page 3 is back. But how about some man nips?You can use mine. Anyone else? #sunmannips pic.twitter.com/ZTYEs9tN7M— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) January 22, 2015
Before long, Twitter was awash with male chests: Moobs, doodle boobs, tattooed nips and arty collages jostled for the publishers' attention, along with the hashtag #sunmannips.

Some people didn't even send their own nipples, but the sentiment remained the same.

On Tuesday, News Corp publication The Times reported that the topless women on Page 3 would be no more. However, The Sun, another News Corp outlet, later refuted that claim.
The #sunmannips campaign aims to force The Sun to rethink its stance on featuring topless women, and if it's not successful, the protesters' next move sounds even more terrifying:
Let's start with #sunmannips and if that doesn't make them rethink we can roll out #sunmanbollocks— Richard K Herring (@Herring1967) January 22, 2015
