    @Mr Dynamite

    the beefcake photos Edward R. Murrow took to promote "Harvest of Shame" back in 1960, standing in an empty field, shirtless, wearing tattered shorts, and holding a basket of fresh nectarines, the late-afternoon California sun glistening off his well-oiled muscles.

    Aw, damn. I actually was about to google those when I realized you were just screwing with my head.

    The actual photo accompanying this entry creeps me out.

    Can't we stop talking about breastfeeding now? As a non-mother, I am so bored with the issue that I'm ready to scream.
