I saw this article pop up on MSN.com.......regarding the nursing babe/breast photo on Baby Talk's cover. As usual, an inflammatory title to the article...."Eyeful of breastfeeding mom sparks outrage"......but then, it got me to read it!

Here's the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14065706/

I do not read this magazine, but I'm always glad to see a nursing baby on any cover of any magazine!

I still have yet to figure out what is so offensive about it. 90% of magazines have giant boobs on the cover!

Frontierpsych, didn't you read my message in the thread about the commercial with the naked silver lady? Breasts are only offensive when they aren't sexy. No one would have a problem with the breast on Babytalk if there was a bit of lace showing.

Here's another article on the same mag cover.

Quote:

Babytalk executive editor Lisa Moran said though most of those who responded to the poll about the cover photo gave the magazine a thumbs-up, she was surprised that some 25 per cent expressed outrage. "There is a real puritanical streak in America," Moran said. "You see celebrities practically baring their breasts all the time and no one seems to mind in this sort of sexual context. "But in this very natural context of feeding your child, a lot of Americans are very uncomfortable with it." She said the cover photo marked the first time a major parenting magazine in the United States dared to break the taboo about showing a woman's breast, adding: "This hasn't scared us off at all."

So, is BabyTalk one of those formula owned trash magazines or is it otherwise published? From this, I'm guessing it's not formula related.
