Time Magazine Getting desperate

When I saw this Time cover my first thought was…“What”????  My second thought was “Huh”????  My third thought was “Wow that is completely unnecessary”.  If Time Magazine is looking to create buzz then this is successful.  If they are looking for shock value then they are on the right track.  If they are looking to maintain their reputation as a relevant and respected news magazine they might was to rethink this. 

If people want shock value they read the National Enquirer.  If they want to see naked woman they buy porn magazines.  I am pretty sure most people don’t want to see a hot mom with a 3 year old sucking her boob. If they do they have problems. 

First this is not news.  This is not a hot button topic worthy of national discussion.  Worthy of the cover of Time Magazine.  There are no laws about to be passed on the subject.  There are no protests going on concerning this issue.  It is a non story.  The only point of the story is so Time can put a hot mom on their cover with a three year old sucking her boob.

Everyone on Facebook is talking about the picture but not the topic.  That is because nobody cares about the topic.  This topic without that picture would never make the cover.  It is nothing more then a stunt.

There is a presidential election in 6 months.  There are wars in Afganistan, and Pakistan.  There is civil war in Syria.  There was a terrorist attempt a couple of days back.  There is a standoff in the South China Sea.  Gas is $4.00.  Unemployment is high.  There are a billion important issues and the best Time can come up with is a 3 year old breastfeeding.  Maybe I am getting old but I don’t get it.  Not from them.  If Time Magazine wants to put naked woman on their cover that is fine with me.  But leave the 3 year old out of it.  It is disturbing.
