The Under Wire (or Lack Thereof)

In a discussion about the very impressive television drama The Wire, it was inevitable that anyone who had seen Season 2 would remember the topless scene featuring Nick Sobotka's girlfriend Aimee. So, armed with nothing but our wits and immature lust to see some boobies we set forth and tried to find a video reminder of said boobies. The whiskey probably helped fuel our pursuits, too.

The early research was good, as we found the woman in question, an actress by the name of Kristin Proctor. However, the hunt for the scene proved surprisingly difficult. At first all we could find were small, blurred and for the most part unacceptable images of the scene (all 5 glorious seconds of it). Where others may have given up, I, the self-proclaimed finder-of-all-things-on-the-Web, could not and did not (and would not?). So, I settled in and started the search and methodically proceeded to find the episode in question (Episode 4: Hard Cases) and then found a direct stream to the episode itself. You can watch what the big deal is all about here.
