London 2012 Olympics: NBC accidentally airs water polo nip slip - video
Published Aug 3 2012, 10:51 BST | By Tom Eames
Viewers and news outlets were quick to notice a very brief nip slip during a water polo match between the USA and Spain.
Underwater cameras caught American player Kamie Craig pull down on a Spaniard's swimsuit, briefly exposing her breast.
Most of NBC's Olympics coverage is taped and edited for broadcast, but the match was part of a live telecast.
Several viewers uploaded the incident on YouTube after noticing the nipple flash, with the use of DVRs making it much easier for audiences to instantly see a replay on an unexpected moment.
Although the game was aired live, the network has been criticised for not using a delay system in order to quickly edit such incidents if they occur, reports Examiner.
The game ended in a 9-9 tie, with Kamie Craig scoring four of Team USA's goals.

SHOCKING! Is that a Breast? Quick cover your eyes.
OMG! I am an american and even I am so very sick of the phobia this country has about showing our body parts. I guess we want our children to think we are all just dolls. No boobs, No sex organs no nothing. On top of which, it's not like the girl took her top off and waved them around dumba$$es.

Yes, because ALL of us Americans act like 14 yr old perverts. I hate little, annoying, immature perverts just as much as the next person, but you know who I hate more? Narrow minded people who don't know any better than to stereotype entire countries.
