i found this on facebook:

evidently there are a lot of riled up women about 
this.  evidently, some few were using breastfeeding 
as a way around the facebook restriction on frontal 
nudity. i still think this is a tempest in a teapot.
personally, i think free speech is being abused on 
the internet.  i do not want my eight year old to 
accidentally access porn when clicking on some spam 
site, or by googling white house.  
i don't want to censor the internet, but perhaps 
there should be a separate internet isolating any 
porn related material?
