Breastfeeding has become the new vehicle for women with exhibitionist tendencies.
I can pee 5 meters away from the toilet but you don't see me on reality TV showing everyone do you?

Somebody must have realized that they could cash in on that controversial Time magazine cover. TV production company Collins Avenue (makers of "Dance Moms" and "American Stuffers," is developing a reality show about mothers who breastfeed older children, the New York Post reports.


The health benefits of breastfeeding (for mom and baby) are well known, with most doctors recommending exclusive breastfeeding for at least the first six months of a child's life and then breastfeeding while supplementing with food for at least the second six months. The World Health Organization encourages nursing until at least age 2.
But somehow, the sight of a mom breastfeeding a child over two tends to freak people out, even though the medical advice is mixed on when you "should" stop. "Experienced pediatricians realize that the benefits of breastfeeding don’t just magically disappear after one year," Karen McGratty, a lactation consultant who is nursing her 3-year-old son, told the Post.
"I didn’t set out to nurse a 3-year-old," mom Jessica Cary told the Post. "But two years came and went. Now breastfeeding and mothering are so intertwined for me." Are you interested in learning more about moms who can't give up breastfeeding? Or not in the slightest?

That said, offer me $50K per episode and sign me up.
But this is just stupid.
Americans are afraid of everything why is this, we are afraid of a nipple, we are afraid of fake fictional characters carrying a purse because our sons may grow up to be gay. I am willing to bet at some time in all American men lives as a child we had a purse, i know i did i kept my GI-Joes and Stretch Armstrong in it and i can assure anyone i am as far away from being gay as a man can get.
News flash America they are only breast, yes we men love to look at them and yes they make women more attractive, but do we really know why? Get over it America their breast, they provide some of the best food a child can have.
Come close my fellow American men, i want to share something with you.
All the women gone, let your wife, girlfriend breast feed, you will save a lot of money and you will get your fun bags back.
do you think these mums go to school to feed their kids during the day? cause if they dont need it during the day , they dont need it at all.
Is it any wonder that more people are cutting off the TV channels, and streaming data off the internet to their TVs? TV is getting too weird, and too much an irrelevant waste of time.
Most of the time my TV is on, I am watching YouTube on it. I can't stand the corporate-controlled mainstream misleadia.
There will be a lot of interest to start off with... mainly teenage boys hoping to see a nipple!
Seems to me the producers are using the Time magazine article to capitalize on "sex sells". Time turned suckling kids into a mainstream news story. Creating a reality show following the article gives the show "legitimacy". But I just don't see average tv viewers being interested in this. The two mentioned groups will likely make up the vast majority of the audience. Not something the producers should be proud of.
