Thanks for this thread, Liz, for it not only gave me a smile or two, but  
reminded me of a commercial I saw recently for a car with a Dad wearing his 
baby  (couldn't see the baby at all) and bottle feeding (of course, one could 
 definitely see the bottle).  My response was internal since no one was  
around and I probably should have grumbled aloud to save my blood pressure 
from  rising.  Out of habit, I used to do a media watch letter writing job for  
lactation consortium, I began to write a letter in my head about how 
bottles  erroneously continue to be the symbol for babies in this country and how  
detrimental this is, and how good it is to see a dad pictured with baby in  
sling, but feeding doesn't equal love, and so forth.  Wish I remembered  
what car was being advertised (or was it a car? darn old age) and I'd send  
off a letter, Rachel.  I know it sometimes actually does have an  impact to 
write letters, but for my own mental health it helps to rant and rave  
occasionally, too.
