This list is amazing Mer.....I am truly frightened to be a man.

Hey Office Fans,

I need your help! The pee-my-pants FUNNIEST moments of the "Casual Friday" episode were Meredith's "Wardrobe Malfunctions", to borrow from Janet Jackson's lexicon. Similarly, the brief halftime exposure of Ms. Jackson's (frankly spectacular) breast was indeed the highlight of an otherwise mediocure Super Bowl. (I can't remember who PLAYED, but I SURE remember "Ol' Lefty"!)

Ms. Jackson's "malfunction" happened LIVE, during the Super Bowl, where the censors had zero time to react. MEREDITH's happened in the studio; the censors had plenty of time to edit in a "blur" effect.

NBC is kind enough to send us the Office in HD. For the uninitiated, please allow me to share that we're talkin' a SH*PLOAD of data here. Each frame of a 1080p HD video stream (30 frames/sec) is 1920 (wide) x 1080 (tall) -- a tad over 2 MILLION pixels. Suffice it to say that NBC gave us a LOT of "data"...

"BLURRING" is a common video effect, used to "soften". In the case of censorship, a blur effect is used locally and selectively to obscure certain sexual -- or, as in case of Meredith's Junk, disTURBing -- images. There's a COUPLE of ways to achieve blurring in digital video. Some leave "blocky" artifacts, some "smudge" pixel detail. REGARDLESS, a simple set of equations are used to "blur" the image. Like I said... NBC gave us a LOT of data... If we know the EQUATIONS, we can run the pile o' data NBC gave us backwards THROUGH the same equations and remove the blur. Yes, we have the technology. If we WANT to, we can see Meredith's Junk in the same exquisite HD detail as we witnessed "Ol' Lefty"!

So... this is where I need your help. I have "Casual Friday" TiVO'd (got all the data); I can guess (by lookin' close at a couple still frames) WHICH blurring algorithm was used; After that, it wouldn't take long to undo the equations, bringing the full glory of Meredith's Junk into focus. This is my question:

SHOULD I DO IT???

My fear is that -- in the "bending over the copier" scene -- the images revealed could be too shocking, too horrifying to be viewed ("Pilar of Salt" time). I'm thinkin' ZZTop smushed between two oversized dinner croissants (flaky and oozing butter). I could suggest that Meredith's frontal peek-a-boo shot may resemble a tennis ball in a tube sock, but that would be hackneyed and frankly, *I* think Mizz Meredith kinda gots it go-in' Oo-on up top, yo!

On the OTHER hand (and to be completely FAIR), her stuff may well a Brazilian paradise, one that awes, that inspires, and her "up top" perhaps JUST as stunning as young Janet's at Super Bowl XCVII. (Frankly though, MY money is on ZZ and the tube sock!)

Even if I DO reverse the blur curse and render the video, I couldn't POST it on DMI 'cause of the strictly PG-13 mentality (a mentality I fully support BTW). HOWEVER, if enough CONSENTING ADULT viewers REEEEEAAAAAALLLLY wanna (or mayhaps NEED (?!) to) see Meredith's Junk, I'll do the deed and find somewhere to post the vid... I could even build a gif animation like those in my sig on DMI!

Whaddaya think? Pros? Cons?!

the rules were truley inspiring....I loved them!....I am sad its all over too!

WE HAV THE TECHNOLOGY. or you do i kno nothing of computers. i say do it . once u see 1 woman naked you... wanna see the rest of em naked

Hahaha...I love the last part

ThatGoofyDude:

Blurring ALSO is useful to TV shows because you can imply that an actor is exposed/naked without requiring that actor to actually BE naked. My educated guess would be that, even if you devoted the necessary time in your parents' basement (where I'm assuming you live)to de-pixellating Merdith's "junk"--as you so eloquently put it--you will probably find that she was wearing a flesh-colored bodysuit underneath her outfit. Suffice it to say, I think NBC and other networks are aware of what bored people can do with a computer nowadays and would not expose (pun fully intended)their stars to that.

On the off chance that you weren't serious or just being sarcastic...didn't really work.

ThatGoofyDude:
You are an insane, disrespectful, chauvenistic asshole. First of all, you are talking about a human being - did you know that the characters we see on TV are actually played by humans? Second of all, the fact that you a) have given this so much thought and b) would even consider giving it that much time - oh and c) that you would think she was actually showing her "junk" to the whole cast and crew of the show, as the above comment points out, makes you seem pathetic and not exactly like the brightest crayon in the box, even if you do have all that technical knowledge.

I also can guess by your descriptions that you haven't seen a lot of naked women in person (not that I'd judge anyone for that) and that, if you have, they weren't all that pleased with you.

Meredith:
Where did you get that tube dress and tell me it comes in fuscia
