I have to admit I was horrified when I saw the pic of a young guy (probably a linebacker at his junior high school) suckling the breast of his rather hot mom. Horrible stuff!!!

All kidding aside, the pic really did trouble me.

Your thoughts?

Hog and I are fighting over which one of us gets to be in the next shoot....

I've been wondering when all the flack will start, and to what extent it will go. It's one thing to nurse a child, quite another when it might boarder on some form of incest. Certainly not the sort of thing I would consider publishing if I were an editor. But, along with "sex", controversy also sells. If you can combine the two, you have a "double-barreled" effect. Considering how computers and the internet have taken over much of the literary sector, along with other recent innovations, I'm not surprised that a publisher might try something like that in order to sell copies of hard-print. Look for NEWSWEEK to try something like that in the near future.

I really don't know what to think! I do find it odd that "mom" would still be breastfeeding a 3 year old but according to some of the feedback comments thta's commen in other places in the world. Where??
I think the real question is when are children growing up? I know of several "kids" in thier 20s still liveing at home with NO responsibilties! One has the whole basement as an apartment pays no rent and has over $25grand in the bank! In the same family line the sister has two "kids" 22&24 both still at home and NEVER held a job in thier lives! Those two have no money worries cause moma gives them $$ to gamble with at Turning Stone.

Every child is in a perpetual state of growing up and when parent refuse to allow that to happen it's going to cause problems, is that where libs come from

I have to admit that the first time I saw the pic... I didn't notice that the kid was standing on a chair or stool. Still, I have to agree that he looks like a linebacker! LOL!

Maybe, there's something TO this breast feeding myth?

Windy... that was too funny!

I don't have a problem with breast-feeding...don't even have a problem with it being done in public, if it's done with the consideration of everyone (parent, child, and passersby) in mind. What I have a problem with is breast-feeding a 3 year old (which is wrong on so many fronts as it is) and then plastering a picture of it all over a magazine cover and the internet. Wait until the kid is in school and one of his friend's surfs across an old picture of him and his mother.

Life.Shambles.

What part of breast-feeding a 3-year old on a magazine cover, did you equate with gay marriage? Color me confused.

We (or I should say, my WIFE) weaned our kids around the 6 to 9 month mark, depending on the child...and depending on the teeth. I'm totally for it; I think it gives the child a great and healthy start in life and creates a great bond with the mother. But 3 years old and photographed for it? Come on!

Breast feeding a 3 year old is a bit much. Having your picture taken while doing it and published on the cover of a national magazine is over the top.

people think breast feeding is over the top but 2 guys making out is OK?
