If You're Getting Tingly in Your Naughty Log Watching Women Breast-Feed, You Should Tip. And Remember: You're Tipping for Two

"I was SHOCKED to see a giant breast on the cover of your magazine," one person wrote. "I immediately turned the magazine face down," wrote another. "Gross," said a third. . . .

Babytalk is a free magazine whose readership is overwhelmingly mothers of babies. Yet in a poll of more than 4,000 readers, a quarter of responses to the cover were negative, calling the photo — a baby and part of a woman's breast, in profile — inappropriate. . . .

One mother who didn't like the cover explains she was concerned about her 13-year-old son seeing it.

"I shredded it," said Gayle Ash, of Belton, Texas, in a telephone interview. "A breast is a breast — it's a sexual thing. He didn't need to see that. . . .

"I'm totally supportive of [nursing mothers] — I just don't like the flashing," she says. "I don't want my son or husband to accidentally see a breast they didn't want to see."


Trust me, Gayle. They won't.

As Bugs would so succinctly say, "What a bunch of maroons."
