The Today Show Chafed My Hide Today

On Twitter today, I saw this:
I thought to myself, "No way. Would they really be that dumb?"
Yep, turns out they were.

 

Feel free to send them a tweet with your thoughts if you are so inclined. They can be found at @todayshow

I did.



Dammit, now I'm all sorts of irritated. Someone get me an iced mocha will ya? That just burns my BUTT.
Note to self: Go nurse somewhere in public so I can take a pic and tweet it to @todayshow tomorrow.

Jerks.

I'm totally with you. This is really awful. WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS DEBATE STILL?! Grrrr.

I loved Starr's comment that if a child can ask for a happy meal, they should not be breastfed. Seriously? Does that also mean if I am old enough to ask for wine I should not be given water any more? The two are not mutually exclusive.

When I saw this it made my head explode. Idiots.

I don't really have anything to add re: breastfeeding. I think what you said is awesome.

My comment is that does anyone else find it very strange that the Today Show uses Star Jones as their legal EXPERT???? I get that she's a trained lawyer, but when I think of her I don't think of legal expert...

Watched the clip- I was really only offended by the bathroom comparison. They got a tweet from me.
Everyone esle on panel was pretty respectful of breastfeeding. They guy tried as hard as he could to be kind while stating he felt akward about it. I did to till I nursed.

*sigh* This is so disappointing. My jaw dropped with the gentleman said he would only be opposed to it if his 8 year old daughter would see it and then start asking questions. Is he serious???? Breastfeeding is something you don't want your KIDS to know about???

Thank you so much for posting this video... I had heard about it today but didn't know what they said. My face is red with fury. People talking about this on the news in a negative way does not help the cause. Argggggh!

I just saw this and I am disgusted! Star Jones is awful and has no place to make comments like that. And the host? Really? "I don't go to the bathroom in public". PLEASE!
