Why do female store mannequins have nipples?

[Orrex]

I mean, I can't imagine that women think "I wasn't sure about this blouse, but now that I see how excited it makes her, I'm sold!"

Or do they?

1. When I was a kid

I used to go around the store and pull the wigs off of mannequins. I used to think it was so funny to suddenly see this bald woman.....

Nah, that's not it!

It's just to make them look realistic...

6. They're there to turn you on

See? You noticed

8. I prefer even my fantasy women to be less, well, plastic and hollow

I mean, I'd have noticed if the thing had an ear on its forehead, but I wouldn't have been turned on.

Same thing, AFAICT.
