Dear lord.

If they don't want their pics removed, they can do what alot of people do:

1 - make your profile both private and only viewable by those 18+
2 - don't host the images on MySpace, instead create a slideshow of the images. I believe photobucket has recently teamed up with some company to provide that.
3 - Don't make this into a personal attack on BFing women, because you know what? The volunteers and corporation don't give a flying fuck. You really think Rupert Murdoch is gonna bend over backwards in this instance? It's fucking unlikely.

I can't believe that so many BFing women don't understand the concept of picking your battles. Or the concept of a website being privately owned, and therefor they get to make whatever rules they damn well please.

I know. I just had to say them anyway.

I'm a fool for using logic on the internet.

Why the hell would someone feel the need to post pics of themselves breast feeding on the internet?

So they can prove what an awesome mommy they are. Why else?

[bajingo]

You took my answer.

If you had a cookie, I'd take it. Out of spite.

And then give it back because I'm honestly not that mean.

[merlyn4401]

I'll share. ;)

Oh boy, an internet petition!

That'll show myspace!

Fight the man!!!!!

I think she even tried to messege Tom directly.

Yeah, like Tom is going to stop counting his millions to help the poor oppressed BF'ing mommas out there.

LOL i was reading through the messages in the petition, and this page cracked me up:

That post about a breastfeeding an 11 year old had to be written in jest by someone from here, right? Please tell me I'm right. It's signature # 4895.

Boob nazis have no idea what it is like to actually be oppressed. Neither do I, for that matter, but I can at least refrain from wailing about it when I don't get to do exactly as I please.

OT - your icon
