Did you see the last 'Time' magazine cover

[dennilfloss]

Someone on Foxnews had a serious problem with it. Saying how that child is now scared for life.

Time magazine cover -- forget the breast, what about the boy?

As for me... all I'm thinking is she's my age and I want a piece of that... :whiste:

I think Fox News might have had an even bigger problem if Time Magazine had decided to show her feeding her 5yo adopted son (which she does) and the fact that he happens to be black might have further sent some of their followers into a tizzy.

Yeah it's probably worth noting that this whole issue is a non-issue on the rest of the planet.

 

[Murloc]

it's good that they made a provocative cover, this kind of batshit crazy moms need to be talked about because they exist everywhere. Hell, even in Game of Thrones there is this kind of mom, I think it was the Vale's queen or something.
If people talk about the cover, people will talk about these ill women and more generally about over-zealous moms, even if it doesn't express itself to these extremes it can still be a subtle cause to problems later in life.

What do you mean a tad more interesting to women than to men? Only men who are ignorant and don't care about their off spring. If I ever have a child I would not be ok with my wife breast feeding the child to this age. Mother fucker needs to stop sucking on the teet and learn that life isn't always beautiful nipple to suck on, sometimes you have to chew and get through some nasty shit just to survive.

Cool story. You appear to have some very passionate opinions about breast feeding. Doesn't change my mind that breast feeding practices in general are a subject of greater interest to women than men.

 

[woolfe9999]

That is a good point. But boobies sell magazines; if it were butterfaced lard ass on the coverage, fewer people would read the article. I don't know it's a serious issue anyway. Do it or don't, who really cares? Just as Bfdd says, if you do it without a modicum of modesty, don't complain that people look.

It's definitely to sell copies. I'm not bothered by the cover. To me, the issue is when a publication like Time has to sexualize something like breast feeding to sell magazines, it says that print media is really on the ropes due to the internet. Sex has always been used to sell, but not generally used to sell articles about things like breast feeding. It smacks of desperation. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I still like books, magazines and newspapers, and I'm starting to wonder if there will be any 10 years from now.

the mental sanity of their offspring is of just as much interest to men. From the title and subtitle, it doesn't look like it's an article about breastfeeding, but about child growth in general.
Is time a male-only magazine?

nope, this kind of mothers has always existed, exist and will exist anywhere in the world, just like serial killers. It's a uncommon but not rare enough deviation.

I can't believe I'm being argued with on this point. Sure, some men will be interested. Not a chance this article was aimed at the male demographic. There's more than one article in that issue, and more than one issue of this magazine. The way this looks to me, the cover article is likely to attract more female readers, but they want men to buy the issue too. Hence, the hot blond on the cover.

 

[Doppel]

way too big a deal is being made about this cover on the news.

 

[Kadarin]

I see no issue with the woman being attractive. What does that have to do with anything? Those saying "they're sexualizing it" are the ones sexualizing it in their minds. There's attractive people in this world, get the fuck over it.

I agree.

 

[feralkid]

So, what do you think?

I think in a couple more months he won't need to stand on a chair.

 

[feralkid]

My ONLY objection is the apparent age of the kid...IMO, even 3 years old is too fucking old for a kid to still be "on the tit." That one looks like quite a bit older.

I think that was their point.

Attachment issues.

Meanwhile, everyone outside the US gets the version for thinking adults, and not imbeciles:

I prefer the hot-mom-breast-feeding cover than this one.

Kidding. But, I was wondering how far this issue really matter in the United States, because down here in Brazil is not very common see moms breast-feeding her children in public places, unless, of course, newborns. But even this case. Otherwise, it's important to discuss about it.

Are you talking about this?

I do not watch GoT.

 

[monovillage]

I don't have a problem with it.

It's good she could rub one off on a magazine cover.

 

[Perknose]

What exactly is an acceptable age to breastfeed? I'm thinking of starting again.

You said a mouthful. Time is obviously milking this controversy for all it's worth.

 

[umbrella39]

Yes, saw it, figured a few of the fanbois posting here might be him but he looks to young to type.

<Thumbs down> to Time for featuring Bill Sears, father of the notorious Bob Sears who peddles woo in the form of anti-vaccination.

 

[SilthDraeth]

I

I mean, i'm totally lay on it, but the breast-feeding period doesn't last a determined time? Is it possible sucking a tit and extract any kind of feed of it? Or is it more feed in a psychological way? Do you know what I mean?

I have seen a documentary about some woman feeding her 10 and older kids, and her husband.

Basically the breast will continue to produce milk as long as it is getting used.

If the mom looked like Greta Van Susteren I would agree.

How did the staff find a mother who breastfeeds her way too old kids willing to take off her shirt for a magazine and is hot?

1.She's a model, so that part was easy.

2. She's such a bad parent that she's willing to use her kid as a prop in her photo layout.

There's really not many people left that have subscriptions to TIME and Newsweek. Most of their subscriptions are business based, if they didn't have doctor offices subscribing to them they'd have been out of business 5 years ago.

Did you see the last 'Time' magazine cover

Hello everyone.

I was looking to the last Time magazine issue and I'm shocked to saw its cover. Take a look:

I don't know what you guys think about it, but regardless, it appears to be a polemic matter.

The editor in chief of Time, Rick Stengel, has said that he haven't heard any complain from sellers, but confirms that the cover is provocative.

Here where I live (Brazil), i've heard commentary about, like "I don't see any problem at all (regarding about the cover itself)". But others says that is not heathy, referring breastfeeding.

The child in matter has three-years old.

So, what do you think?

What kid?

All I see is Hot MILF

When it comes about mother's milk, best part - container(s)

worthless liberal rag doing anything for shock value to drum up sales.

You're thinking of Newsweek.

Time is considered a conservative journal.
