The Daily Mail has a piece about breastfeeding...

www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1351338/Mothers-stage-simultaneous-breast-feeding-Canada-woman-kicked-mall.html

I love some of the comments....

"So would these people object if I walked around with my balls hanging out? Seeing as how being naked is natural?

  • Peter, Liverpool,"

I would if you had a baby suckling on them.

"All you folk saying Breast feeding is beautiful you creep me out seriously. No it isn't it's weird and should be done in private.

  • Lesley, Livingston,"

Why do I detect a locked room in Lesley's house devoted to Alan Partridge?

"I get sick of these women "making a stand" - Yes it may be natural but so are going to the loo and having sex, neither of which I wish to do in a McDonald's. Maybe in a quiet corner. but its got so boring now. We can't get in our local coffee shops for pushchairs and babies. Stop trying to make a point , have a bit of respect for others round you- totally agree with Ray, Derby 13.44 and I'm female.

  • Jan, Surrey,"

I have looked through the bible and cannot find the verse Ray, Derby 13,44. I'm guessing it is along the lines of 'thou shall not raise the Boden in Starbucks, nor shall your Bugaboo impede the carrying of a Latte'

"I am sick and fed-up of militant mothers the world over! Yes, breastfeeding is natural, but there are ways of doing it discreetly and it shouldn't be something that is done in close quarters to anyone else. A mother's 'right' to feed her child is not more important than the rest of society's 'right' to not be repulsed by certain women indiscreetly feeding their young.

  • Ellie, London"

How careless of those drafting the UN Declaration of Human Rights overlooked close quarter breast feeding, and instead wasted their time on freedom of conscience and the right not to be murdered by your government.

"Disgusting! Going to the toilet is a natural act, but you don't do it in the middle of a shop!

  • huhHubert Toshing Hh, Ackrington Stanle,"

Baby's do that as well - but don't tell huhHubert.

There were others.

eeore. Is there a point to all of this?

Are you saying you agree with the comments, or are you opposed to them? It isn't really clear.

Is the humour too subtle?

Is the green ink reference to your own witterings? Hmm

Pan · 30/01/2011 00:13

no eeore, I thought the Bible ref. was excellent!

I think you should go and post your come-backs. Especially the testicle-suckling one.

One needs to get past the censor on the Daily Mail. I already have slipped past to make my dig.
