AOL News - Canada is up in arms about breast-feeding and whether it's really OK to do it in public. And with the help of blogs and Facebook, angry moms are taking it to the streets -- or to the mall, in this case. About a hundred mothers in Montreal staged a "nurse-in" protest at a downtown shopping complex last week, breast-feeding simultaneously before a curious crowd of reporters, mall security guards and passers-by. The event was retribution, they said, for a store that had thrown out a mother for breast-feeding earlier this month. "I think that, basically, you should be able to do it anytime and anywhere," said Frances Moxant, 40, as she fed the youngest of her four children. "Even my parish priest tells us to go ahead and do it in church. Jesus was breast-fed -- he wasn't bottle-fed. So it's definitely all right."
Anyone notice how Canada has seemingly been unfazed by everything that's been going on in the world the last few years? Is this all those hosers have to debate about, breast feeding? I guess maple syrup, plaid, and clean crisp air are just recession proof industries, eh?
In all seriousness, breast feeding isn't the issue here for me, the issue is this:
Smith left humiliated. But her embarrassment quickly turned to anger, so the next day she created a blog, breastfortheweary.com... With just the one post, the blog quickly started gathering hits -- almost 7,000 so far. A day later, a Facebook group had been created to organize the nurse-in for Jan. 19.
7000 hits since January 6th! What the hell am I doing wrong over here? This has been our best month yet and we just cracked 3,000. This woman is crushing us because she has breasts and can whip them out in public. That's biologically unfair. The Tab's has been behind the 8-ball the whole time. Organizing Facebook Flashmobs? I can't even crack 20 on our fan page. A supposed financial advice columnist who hasn't given out any advice, and a gambling picks blogger who gives away his picks on twitter. This place needs to start picking up some more support or I'm going to sell out and start pandering to bored breast feeding house wives, apparently that's a golden demographic.
