Oh, not this shit again!
Remember the massive wankstorm that happened when LJ had problems with breastfeeding in default icons?

Get ready for round two. This time, it's Facebook's turn in the barrel.

(I'm borrowing a friend's computer. Much more links when I get home.)

ETA: Okay, I lose for rushing to print too quickly -- back when I was leafing through it at a friend's house, this looked much bigger and wankier than it does now. Well, it still looks big and wanky, but a good deal less entertaining. Anyway, in a too-little-too-late bid to lessen my fail a little...

The Facebook petition. From here, there are about 1500 discussion threads, but the highlights include...

Breastfeeding hurts. Not the first thing I'd think of if I was reading a magazine and found two pages stuck together, but then, I'm not in marketing.

Another petition, this time directed at Obama. Incudes abortion wank. ("Obama couldn't possibly give a shit about breastfeeding rights, he's pro-child murder!")

Aw, damn, there's no funny in that.

Meet Harlan. He doesn't see the big deal, and thinks breastfeeding should be done privately. Obviously, lots of people disagree with him: "You don't own my breasts," "mind your own business," "breastfeeding is not sexual," and... what do you mean, I have to be logged in to go past the first page?

Okay, I give up. Bring on your tomatoes and admonitions to lurk moar.

Facebook's turn in the barrel.

Interesting choice of metaphor, you know.

That said: oy.

Where is the funny?

Or, hell, where is the wank?

Hell hath no fury like a lactivist scorned. If it's not around yet, it will be. (The wank, anyways. Hard-core lactivists tend to suck the funny out of many a situation, imo.)

I don't disagree. Just saying there's no way this won't be wanky.

Points are awarded when you're the first to mention the possibility of wank existing somewhere. Points double when you have no links.

Okay, so they're cluelessness points...

"You go in and take out our photos, when will you learn our breasts are not porn?"

I will pay lots of cold, hard cash (of the fake, internet variety) for anyone who can come up with a tune that makes that lyric anything less than hilarious.

There will never be a time when breastfeeding wank WON'T remind me of that Married With Children episode where Marcy organises a breastfeeding protest at the shoestore.

Why is it that even though I agree with the points made, I end up irritated with lactivists? Srsly. I can't put my finger on why this particular group grates so damn badly on my nerves.

But since this is a failed wank, I have a cookie recipe. I found this at food_porn on LJ and it's been a huge hit in my family.

Cream Cheese Thumbprint Cookies

1 (8 ounce) package of cream cheese (softened)
1 cup butter (softened)
1 tsp of vanilla
¼ cup sugar
2 ½ cups of flour
1 small jar of jam or preserves

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream together butter, vanilla, and cream cheese. Stir in the sugar. Then measure out the flower by spoonfuls into the larger measuring cups and add a cup at a time to the creamed mixture. Mix until no dough sticks to the sides of the bowl.

Roll out dough on a floured surface into a medium square, then use a cookie cutter or the brim of a small cup to remove the cookies. Place close together (but not touching) on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Use two cross-ways thumbprints to make a gentle indentation in the cookies and then fill with approximately 1/2 teaspoon of filling—keep it all in the center and don’t overload or you’ll have a sticky mess!

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and enjoy.

NOTES: I've found it actually takes a bit more flour than is listed in order to keep the dough non-sticky. So start with the recipe amount and adjust as necessary. Additionally, I refrigerate my dough for an hour after mixing. It helps firm up the fats and makes rolling easier. I've used strawberry and raspberry jam here, but this is definitely a YMMV type of ingredient.

Whee, I might actually be able to make that.

...Roughly how small is a "small jar"? Bigger than a fist?

I used the small all fruit preserve style (Smuckers or Polaner, if that's at all familiar) and I went through the whole jar. So probably bigger than fist, but definitely not the Value Family size. :)

Wow. The only thing more painful than the breastfeeding wank itself is the blatant ignorance of the majority of posters posting to the Obama thread. Being pro-choice =/= being anti-breastfeeding.

Another petition, this time directed at Obama

They're petitioning Obama to make Livejournal leave their boobie pictures alone?

(Obv. I can't be bothered to actually read the link; the mental images I'm enjoying now are just too hilarious.)

"You don't own my breasts," "mind your own business,"

Jesus, lady. I was trying to mind my own business, but then you WHIPPED OUT YOUR TIT in public.
