Vote on magazine cover...

I am proud to announce that it's currently at 83% 'it's fine' and only 17% 'it's inappropriate'.

I know....I sent it to my friend and said I was ashamed that I was even sending this poll out to people. When's the last time you saw a poll on whether or not a pop star's body parts were offensive?

I just voted

I have a friend on another site and she just placed a picture of her b/feeding her baby ... I think it's the most beautiful and natural looking picture.

I can't believe that anyone would be offended by that! It is natural! It is just a picture of a baby eating, what is so offensive about it?! It makes me so mad because it takes a lot of courage to nurse in public and things like this make new moms self conscious about feeding their babies.

"I'm totally supportive of it - I just don't like the flashing," she says. "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."

Frankly I laughed at this statement. A breast they didn't want to see? What the heck kind of breast would that be?

You've got to love the statement about a breast being a sexual object. Um yeah. That's why breasts were made. For sex. Idiots.

Yeah,it does sound kind of comical!.....Oh, she's passing the buck to her dh and son, when it's clearly her own hang up. I saw the magazine cover, and I voted. I was SHOCKED!... shocked that someone could possibly be upset by that photo, that is. Even if one wanted to be "that way", it didn't even show anything! Sheeze.... Why won't people just grow up!

yes this is just silly. Such concern. They didn't even attach a woman to the breast. I am sure that was intentionally done so it wouldn't "offend" as many people. I just don't have time for stupid people! lol
