Help Me With a Letter

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I ran across a movie review site and was reading a review for the movie "Away we Go" and under "Sexual Content" it mentions a baby is breastfed - quote below.

"When Burt and Verona see his "cousin" LN breast-feed her two children, the camera does too. (I've put cousin in quotes because the film hints that she's really his illegitimate sister. And I should also note that this is the woman who believes it's shameful to hide "lovemaking" from kids.)"

What kind of help are you looking for? Where to write? What to write?

If you can find an e-mail for someone I think a simple e-mail expressing that you were disappointed that they would classify feeding a child as sexual content that people needed to be warned about.

ETA, just looked at the link and since it's a Christian site you could toss in that breastfeeding is the way God designed mothers to feed their children and you think it's absurd to insinuate that there is something sexual or lewd about it.

I just sent them an email as well. I forget exactly how I worded it, but I basically said I was dissapointed in them for considering breastfeeding under "sexual content". I quoted the part of the review I found objectionable, and used "breastfeeding is not "sexual content"!" as my email title.
