UPDATED: Of covers and parodies
(See update at bottom of article)
I'm sure that by now most readers are familiar with the cover on the latest issue of Time magazine, showing a toddler nursing at his mother's breast. Many (including myself) think that it was completely inappropriate, but to each his own, I guess . . .
Needless to say, the cover has already begun to inspire parodies and imitations. Here are a few that I've spotted so far, including what I think are their original sources. If you find more, please post a link to them in Comments, so we can all enjoy them!

UPDATED TO ADD: Rush Limbaugh and his team offer their take on the Time cover, and Slacktory offers a number of Photoshopped contributions.
Excellent round up. The first is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteYep, the first one IS the winner!
ReplyDeleteNow my wife and I both have to clean our monitors and keyboards.
ReplyDeleteYeah, #1 is my fave, too.
That is not a toddler. That brat can walk, talk and use the toilet (At least it should judging from size).
ReplyDeleteThat is not breastfeeding but shotacon breastfeeding incest fetish fodder.
Yep, definitely # 1 ftw.. :P
