Completely OT...
To disable ads, please log-in.
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?I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.

Ditto. Spears isn't even being original."Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be. There's something wrong with a society that drives a car to workout in a gym." -- Bill Nye

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."Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you're going to do now and do it." – William C. Durant

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.Last edited by Lise; 08-24-2006 at 10:52 AM.

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.

From someone who nursed WAY too long (2 1/2 years!!), that picture is SO cute!!!
And I don't really like babies that much either (much prefer puppies) - but I really did like mine. I really didn't think I'd love anyone more than my Rottie til she came out....Sarah

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?

<Steps up on soapbox>
what is confusing people unfortunately is that they have associated breasts with sex so much that they forgot the REAL reason humans and all mammals have MAMMARY glands!! I agree on both points that Brit is skeezy in general AND unoriginal in the pose, but I see nothing wrong with the baby nursing on a PARENTING magazine. Now if it was a big hairy (fill in the blank with your preferred term) suckling on the breast, then it WOULD be sexual and inappropriate.
I attempted to breast feed my son 25 years ago. I say attempted because he was born c-section, we both had infections and he was started on a bottle before my milk came in and I wasn't offered a breast pump to start my milk right away. By the time I got to start trying, he was hooked on the bottle, there were no lactation coaches like today and I didn't produce enough milk to keep him happy and well fed.
I think the baby in that photo looks happy and healthy, and there is nothing wrong with the photo. I have no problem with women who breast feed in public either regardless if they cover themselves and babies or not. I think it's offensive that people think women and babies should have to go to the filthy ladies room to feed. They wouldn't eat in the bathroom so why should an infant?

I'd also prefer a puppy, but the baby shot is a cutie. Spears is just a skeeze.

The baby pic is cute when will people stop being horrified by what is a natural part of life.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
