Titillating Magazine Cover of the Day: Jamie Lynne Grumet, a 26-year-old parenting blogger, offers her nipple to 3-year-old son Aram on the cover of this week’s Time magazine, to promote a story about attachment parenting, an approach that encourages parents to breastfeed and co-sleep with their children.
“To me, the whole point of a magazine cover is to get your attention,” says Rick Stengel, Time‘s managing editor. “From the moment that we started talking about this story as a cover possibility, it was like I couldn’t get out of the meetings. There was so much opinion and passion about it and discussion. What that told me is, boy, this is a story that people care a lot about.”
At first I was like, “Whoa, boob.” Then I read the post and thought…whoa that kid is three?

I was getting tired of those pesky job offers that kept coming in.
No Jewish burial for you!
This is the internet I grew up with. Never forget your roots.
Give me my sweater back, or I will play guitar. Thanks for this, Brian.
Use Birth Control? You're Fired! -
We are talking about authorizing secular, for-profit employers to deny a woman coverage for birth control if the employer doesn’t believe that she and her partner should be allowed to have sex without getting pregnant. Yup, that’s right. If the owner of the Taco Bell where you work opposes birth control, Arizona legislators want to give him a legal right to deny you insurance coverage for your pills. Sadly, that isn’t even the half of it. You may want to sit down for this one. Arizona legislators know that whether or not her insurance covers it, a woman may get the prescription she needs to prevent an unintended pregnancy. They want to give her boss the right to control that too. The bill they are pushing would not only allow employers to take the insurance coverage away, but it would also make it easier for an employer who finds out that his employee uses birth control to fire her. You heard me right … to fire her.
AAAARGH SEX IS DIRTY….
