Completely OT...

but it is a woman's issue:

I am not one to bring up controversial issues but this one just eats at me...I have discussed this with friends but wanted to see what opinions were outside of my bubble...

Since when is an image of a baby doing something completely natural offensive? It is not sexual! It is not tasteless! It is natural! and appropiately displayed on a related magazine!

...but this image of Spears is OK???




Is it me or are we a little mixed up with what is truely important and meaniful?

Ditto. Spears isn't even being original.

not a fan of the spears picture, or her in general. (don't get me started)

i must say i'm supprised that its that magazine. i figured she would go for playboy if she was going to be in public.

cute baby though and i think nothing wrong of that picture specially because its for that type of magazine.

I just don't like babies. Or that chick.

But puppies and kittens are cool.

We've got that parenting magazine all over the clinic. I was really surprised when there was controversy about the picture. Sheesh, people. It's called human survival. I find it pitiful that we've gotten so artificial in our everyday life that breastfeeding is "offensive".

Britney, IMO, is exploiting her pregnancy to wear pretty jewelry and pose nekkid on a big magazine cover. That is gross.

But that's the point. No one has to love babies. You can feel free to hate babies.
BUT the picture is still just a baby breastfeeding for god sakes. Those people who made it an issue are out of touch with reality and way too prurient. It's not sexual.

Took me 4 posts to figure out what you meant by Spears (I expected a long sharp pointy thing). I'm clueless when it comes to popular culture. Well, I've heard the name but have no idea what she looks like. Love the baby pic though.

Good!!! I am glad to see I am not the only "Spears hatin' whats wrong with a baby eating" gal!
Now who are all those so called Moms having a fit over the BabyTalk magazine????

Yes, V, puppies & kittens are cute too but I haven't heard of any major controversy over pics like this...

****I think I see nipple?

At least Demi had herself painted!

I think the baby pic is fine - it's appropriate for that magazine. There are tons of pics like that in the magazines. They've just moved one to the cover. oohhhh controversy!
