Christchurch Casino says it is reviewing its dress code and was already doing so when it received a complaint from a woman who says she was "humiliated" after being asked to cover her ample breasts.
English tourist Helen Simpson, 33, complained publicy after she says she was "absolutely humiliated" when a woman casino staff member told her to cover up or leave early last Saturday morning.
"She said I was wearing too low a top, which people found offensive," Ms Simpson told The Press newspaper.
"I was highly embarrassed - humiliated, absolutely humiliated.
"I feel like I've been discriminated against for having big breasts."
Ms Simpson said she didn't choose to be "well endowed in the upper region" and described herself as a "size 14 woman with the top half demanding a size 20".

Dunno about covering up, but she certainly needs a decent bra!!
I'm not really sure if this needs a comment... but seeing as NZ sizing is like UK sizing, I'd love to know where she buys her size 14s from...
From the BBC: Bitch-fightin' Nuns
A convent in Italy is being shut down after a fight between its last three remaining nuns.
So badly did relations deteriorate between the sisters of Santa Clara in Bari that the Mother Superior ended up in hospital with scratches to her face.
Now the local archbishop has intervened and asked the Vatican for permission to close the convent.
But Sister Liliana, the only nun still there, says she has no intention of leaving her home of the past 44 years.
The Clarissa nuns are regarded as the most austere order of the Roman Catholic Church, devoted to a life of prayer, penance and quiet contemplation.
But at the Santa Clara convent in Bari, the vow of silence was shattered by an unholy row.
Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista say they were driven to distraction by the nasty habits of their Mother Superior.
They became so angry that during the summer, they turned on Sister Liliana scratching her face and throwing her to the ground.
The two nuns have now moved into a nearby convent leaving Sister Liliana barricaded inside.
Lovely twist at the end of the piece too.

It appears to leave it open as to who actually did the barricading. Shades of the Cask of Amontillado

Dentist Claims Breast Rubs Appropriate
Fri Oct 12, 8:24 PM - Woodland, Calif. - A dentist accused of fondling the breasts of 27 female patients is trying to keep his dental license by arguing that chest massages are an appropriate procedure in certain cases. Mark Anderson's lawyer says dental journals discuss the need to massage the pectoral muscles to treat a common jaw problem. [...]
Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Phillips gave [administrative law judge Jonathan] Lew three new complaints, including one from a 31-year-old woman who said Anderson fondled her at least six times over two years.
She took to wearing tight shirts with high necklines, "and Anderson would still get in under her shirt and bra," according to a police report.

Worshippers see spirit of dead Pope in mountain bonfire
WARSAW, Poland (AP) - A photo of a bonfire taken by a Polish construction worker is creating a stir for the resemblance of the flames to a silhouette of the country's beloved son, the late Pope John Paul II.
The picture of the flames _ said to resemble a silhouette of the pope bending in a gesture of blessing _ has been featured in newspapers across Poland and other countries, including Germany and Italy.
Grzegorz Lukasik, 26, snapped the photo April 2 at a mountainside ceremony marking the second anniversary of the pope's death.
During John Paul's nearly 27-year papacy, villagers would light a fire on the Matyska mountain in southern Poland as a greeting to him when he would visit the area.

KILLER BISCUITS WANTED FOR ATTEMPTED MURDER (the actual AP headline)
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws in Los Angeles and, while there, went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and with her eyes closed, with both hands behind the back of her head. One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open, and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her head.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour until someone noticed and came to her aid.
Linda is a blonde and a Democrat, but I'm certain that's irrelevant
