Breastfeeding Fracas...




















An American magazine has unleashed a firestorm of controversy with their latest issue...The cover story is about breastfeeding and the photo is a very tasteful shot of a nursing baby. WELL! You'd think they had published HARD CORE DIRTY! Apparently the magazine's offices have been inundated with calls, letters and e-mails calling for somebody's head!

-- ONE READER SAID "I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE A GIANT BREAST ON THE COVER. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE MAGAZINE FACE DOWN" -- A TEXAS RESIDENT WHO WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HER 13-YEAR-OLD SON SEEING THE MAGAZINE.
-- SHE SAYS "I SHREDDED IT. A BREAST IS A BREAST-IT'S A SEXUAL THING. HE DIDN'T NEED TO SEE THAT" --SHE DOES ADMIT SHE BREAST-FED ALL HER KIDS.
-- THE MAGAZINE'S EDITOR SUSAN KANE WAS SURPRISED BY THE RESPONSE: SHE SAYS "THERE'S A SQUEAMISHNESS ABOUT SEEING A BARE BREAST. IT'S NOT LIKE WOMEN ARE WHIPPING THEM OUT WITH TASSELS ON. MOSTLY, THEY'RE TRYING TO BE DISCREET"...

Thanks for your calls this morning...people sure are funny aren't they?

Oh please. That picture could be of an elbow for all anyone knows. Some people need to un-twist their panties. (obviously they weren't breastfed) So what if it's a breast? It's the most natural thing in the world to do for your baby, and yes, breast is best!

I'd be more offended if Tony whipped out one of those puffy man-boobs of his. ;-)
