Social networking website Facebook is boldly taking the Internet into the 19th Century by banning photos of breastfeeding as “obscene”.
Look, I know Facebook is American, and America is (a) a Puritan nation at heart and (b) pig-ignorant of the fact that the other 96% of the world’s population might think differently. I mean, their own president can’t tell the difference between APEC and OPEC, between Austria and Australia. When he’s standing in it. But quite frankly, a society which thinks photos of mothers feeding their children are “obscene” has deep, deep problems.
And not just that your president is dumb as a stump-post.
The protest group Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!(Official petition to Facebook) has almost 8000 members already. And while I generally don’t pay much attention to the needs of the breeders, this one I’ve joined.
Isn’t America also home to the largest porno industry on this planet? That could be item (c) of your opening list…
onya Stil… joined up too
Do they ban pics of manboobs as well?
I’ve stayed away from responding to comments on this post because part of me wants to say something very, very sarcastic. And that’s not helpful. So instead I’ll write a reply which combines manboobs and pornography.
Actually, on second thoughts I won’t.
