14 WFIE, The Tri-State’s News Leader: Six Flags Asks Mom To Stop Breastfeeding

14 WFIE, The Tri-State’s News Leader: Six Flags Asks Mom To Stop Breastfeeding

See? When there are this many morons out there I hardly have to think at all to blog.

They should count their blessing that she was using a blanket for heaven’s sake. More than I do. I have not been blessed with a baby remotely interested in eating under cover, in fact, both boys devoted a lot of effort from an early age to pushing my shirt as far away from their nursing mouths as they could.

And for the “we just encourage them to be discreet,” bull stuff, are they clear on the implications? That somehow, I’m being indiscreet because I want to ummm titilate the sexually immature members of the crowd? That I’m so desperate for attention that I’m feeding my baby for all to see?

I’d like to see a law that anyone who is disturbed by nursing in public and can’t find some way to avert his or her eyes should be required to take some sort of personality-changing drug. Or get a life.
