Facebook Thinks My Tetas are Obscene

n763175244_4988.jpgFacebook is deleting users for having obscene user photos. What’s so obscene? Well according to the social networking site, mamis breastfeeding is obscene, especially if there is nipple involved.

“We agree that breastfeeding is natural and beautiful and we’re very glad to know that it is so important to some mothers to share this experience with others on Facebook,” writes Facebook spokesman Barry Schnitt in response to queries about the site’s policy on breastfeeding photos. “We take no action on the vast majority of breastfeeding photos because they follow the site’s Terms of Use. Photos containing a fully exposed breast (as defined by showing the nipple or areola) do violate those Terms and may be removed. These policies are designed to ensure Facebook remains a safe, secure and trusted environment for all users, including the many children (over the age of 13) who use the site. The photos we act upon are almost exclusively brought to our attention by other users who complain.”

Seriously? Is my teta more offensive then say the presence of an anti-immigrant ass on Facebook’s Board of Directors? I would rather my daughters see breasts than racism, after all , one day they will have them, and yes while tetas are fun and sexy, they are also functional and a healthy , portable way to feed your kid.

Israel Launches Air Strike Against Gaza

200812271056944734_5.jpgI woke up this morning to the horrific and angering news that Israel launched an air strike against Gaza. Israel says it is attacking Hamas targets in an attack that so far has claimed 180 lives (I’m sure by the time I hit publish the death toll will have risen). Hundreds are reported injured.

Mustafa Barghouthi, the former Palestinian information minister, said: “This is not an attack on the Hamas. It is an attack on the whole population and the free will of the people of Gaza.”

He accused Israel of committing “war crimes” and demanded that Abbas and his government stop all relations with Israel.

The Israel army released a statement saying “terrorist installations” were hit and that all Israeli pilots returned unharmed.

Palestinian officials called on the international community to condemn the raids [AFP]
The operation against the Hamas is “only just beginning,” Avi Benayahu, an Israeli military spokesman said.
