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.

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.)

That's something for [info]clairvoyantwank, then.

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...

This really isn't the place to post about things happen. Things happen a lot.

I have no idea where the funny is, but the Raging Grannies have a chapter in my town and they are awesome. Photos!

I cannot wait to be old enough to pull off that hat. Awesome indeed.
