FUNNY: Tweets Milked From Time Magazine's Breast-feeding Cover

by UInterviewMay 11, 2012, 12:00 amNews >

Opinions about TIME magazine's controversial cover photo for its May 21 issue have been pouring ~~out~~ in. Some say the cover, which features a 26-year-old model breast-feeding her four-year-old son, is "revolting." Others say it's "genius." While still others can't say anything because their lips are, at the moment, firmly attached to their own mother's sweet nipples.

And who can blame them in this economy? Forget the high prices of baby formula and Gerber's — try feeding one adult male in New York City on a blogger's budget. Trust me, it comes down to pennies and complimentary packets of non-dairy creamer, which are no substitute for the real thing. Right, Mom?
