Glad to see someone else gets their bellylaughs from these things too
(http://www.nuangel.com/, nursing covers).  But it is discreet, really, and
that is how to spell it, not 'discrete', which means something else.  I
mean, there were no day-glo colors on offer, nor were there reflectorized
stripes along the seams (have they no thought for traffic safety??) not to
mention no flashing lights or whistles that go off when the mother has a
milk ejection reflex.  
In all fairness, they claim that the slits at the top do allow for eye
contact between mother and baby, while keeping the dreaded breast completely
under wraps.  I almost think a burka that covered the mother from top to toe
would be a better choice.  At least she could sneer at the rest of the world
underneath it, without anyone finding out.  The inventor of this one-woman,
one-baby tent is 'a three time nursing mother who is a Certified Lactation
Consultant'.  I am unimpressed.

I was curious about the iParenting award, and by a very cursory search of
the list of products they endorse, found this gem, a sleep aid for parents:

I did not succeed in finding out on what basis awards are given, nor who
decides, but after seeing this product I lost my appetite for learning more.
Didn't get a bellylaugh, just a bellyache, from it.
