    Breast-Feeding Cover sparks outrage (Babytalk Magazine)

    The article:
    http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/artic ... 20309.html
    I find these women reaction ridiculous. What's about you?

    Kane said that since the August issue came out, the magazine has received more than 700 letters — more than for any article in years.
    "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."
    "Gross, I am sick of seeing a baby attached to a boob," wrote Lauren, a mother of a 4-month-old.
    BTW, there is only a PART of the breast in the bottom left corner of the cover!

    I agree wholeheartedly! I think that it is atrocious that these women should have to hide their beautiful breasts from view by attaching a baby to them.

    What? !!

    Americans!!!

    A gun on a magazine cover is no prob, but a bit of human....


    Anyhoo, who says it's a breast?
    Maybe it's a pic of a baby kissing his granddad's bald head?
    Or a baby kissing.... well.... another part of someone's anatomy?!


    gRomoZeka, I agree, it's utterly ridiculous.
    Ой, голова у меня кружится |-P ...... and my brain hurts too....

    I've seen this several times already which is what leads me to this point: all these people have done is caused it be seen by MANY more people than would have ever seen it in the first place! This isn't that big of a magazine but it's been in several media stories now because of this "controversy", so people who NEVER would have seen it now have. It's almost as if the magazine planned this so they'd get a ton of free advertising!

    Yep rediculous! This dumb broad thinks that her husband and teenage boys don't want to see a breast.

    I just don't like the flashing," she said. "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."

    Because all the guys I know don't bother with looking at the other magazines at the newstand, they go straight for the hotttttt new issue of BabyTalk.

    I am sure she didn't want to write the letter, but the teenage boys and the husband were furious, and being completely illiterate, they made her.

    Я не против обложки этого журнала, но я не люблю матерей, которые открыто поступают таким образом..... Помните, большинство матерей не так красивы...

    Were not all as "picky" as Basurero! Some of us real men (like DDT) are not so picky and find most women worth looking at.....especially if that woman happens to be exposing a breast or two.

    Anyway, not allowing women to breastfeed in public because one may happen to see too many unattractive women's breasts, as Bazza is sugesting, is "cutting one's nose off to spite the face". With that attitude, my little porcupine, you would never get to see even a beautiful woman's breast.

    You are ruining things for us real men Bazza! You know, didn't you hear the old proverb, "You have to kiss a lot of toads in order to find the prince"?

    So you see we have to allow unattractive women to show us their breasts in order to be able to see beautiful women's breasts.

    You gotta be a step up and be a man there buddy boy! You gotta look at the big picture! You gotta start giving 3 cheers to any breast you happen to see no matter who owns it and then "shout" the house another round of beer.

    Sometimes you just gotta "take one for the team".

    ЛОЛ. Ну, если видишь много уродливых грудей, то даже обычные груди выглядят сексуально...

    Я понимаю если бы грудь была мужская. Вот это действительно было бы отвратительно.

    Yep. Just like we women have to suffer looking at an awful lot of ugly male mugs before seeing one that's even a bit presentable.....

    Well, why would teenage dudes and husbands read "baby talk" anyway? There is no issue, because no male in the world would even get in the near vicinity of the magazine in fear for his reputation!
