Dear all: I must confess, that living here in New York City we must really need a sense of relief from the ridiculous self-importance that comes from living in a city where everyone takes themselves far too seriously and thinks Manhattan is the center of the universe. Satire is a survival skill that even my nine-year old son has adopted, particularly when it comes to breastfeeding. So, clearly, satire is in the eye of the beholder because I literally laughed until tears ran down my face and I had an almost PIMP experience the first three times I saw Milk Men. Milk Men is very well acted --- the longing looks from the men are so realistic. Far superior than some of the lame silliness of some of the You-Tube videos of grown overweight men playing around with breast pumps injuring themselves. The best of these was the Dad's Lab pumping video, which fit right in with nine year old boy humor. My son loved it. But I could not help myself and had to point out that they really failed in their mechanical skill because they thought the dial for suction speed was really the control for suction strength. The others were merely repeats with only minor variations in type of pump, degree of overweight, and amount of chest hair. I was shocked how many men posted themselves on You-Tube doing this with such a total lack of creativity. Another video that I can no longer find and is also likely to be of questionable acceptance was of a woman who was serving two men in an outdoor cafe while wearing a back pack pump and expressing milk. Again, I personally found it hilariously funny, but it could be construed as quite offensive to some others. Best, Susan *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
