Thanks John – useful insights!
js, not much worth responding to in your comment, but I think Facebook would like at least the appearance of acting in a predictable manner – and it’s news of interest to hundreds of millions if they don’t.
BTW CNET has now covered the story and levered an apology from Facebook:

In the US (perhaps more than elsewhere), cheap & opportunistic publicity stunts are a dime a dozen.
But before I delve into that, let me first respond to Ms. Buckley’s comment that “people are so becoming used to the female form as a symbol for lust, that they have trouble reading it as a representation of other values”:
…Is she referring to “other values” like, say, conspicuous consumption – for example, in an advertising-based association to high-end jewellery? Nah, she couldn’t be…because if anything, that’s an even MORE common “symbolic” use of the female form in Western society. (And that’s exactly what this story is: it’s common.)
But perhaps more to the point:
The fact is, Facebook has every right to delete anything they want from their site – with or without any explanation, justification, prior notice, or even consistency. (Just like you have every right to delete this comment from your blog, if you wish!)
Victoria can accept that and create a Facebook-specific ad campaign to suit. Or she can reject it, and advertise elsewhere. Or she can do both.
End of story.
…And incidentally, that “end of story” is probably also why there are so few RESPECTED news organizations in your list of the international publications that have carried the story so far: There is no story here, other than VB trying (and succeeding in large part – thanks, no doubt, to the “nipples sell newspapers” rule) to get her 15 minutes of fame.
(And while I’m at it, I should note that she has also been succeeding with the support of your misleading suggestions that this somehow has something to do with “public standards” rather than Facebook’s standards; with Facebook’s “unexplained actions,” even though they have an explicit “no female nipples” policy; and so on. Nice try, though. And who knows? Maybe some American journalists might be stupid enough to fall for it, yet!)
…Does that answer your question?

Ophelia doesn’t get covered (sorry) here in the US media because it’s your basic naked white chick story. No, that isn’t interesting to the US media at all.
If the US media was to pick up this story, then Ophelia would have –
1. To be an illegal alien, member of the New Black Panthers or a Fox News anchor
2. To have been mentioned in Sarah Palin’s blog as a supporter and a “Mama Grizzly”
3. To be a lesbian trucker in that can’t marry her lover doll that happens to be a schoolteacher
4. To have three glasses of chardonnay and fallen down at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood
5. To have been against gun ownership, a Baptist, a persecuted union member, Republican’s mistresses or on American I-Doll
Any one of these parameters would make Ophelia a US media darling and above-the-fold in the New York Times and the lead story MSNBC for weeks, maybe months.
