ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Really? I clicked on your post now I'm gonna get flagged at work. Asshole.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jun 12, 2014, 12:13 PM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Where on earth do you work?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: While I don't like it.... this post could lead to someone getting into serious trouble at work. No reason not to post but should put NSFW on it. Unfortunately, we are prudes in the US who are apparently too sensitive to a woman feed her child. Sorry.. got your point but those of us who might be subject to the IT police, need for you to be more careful.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: jberryhill is an ass. Hide this shit.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree that women breastfeeding should not be a problem, but a not safe for work warning should be added.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The image links to a parenting site. I don't see how that is going to get any IT person at someone's work in a rage. It's a baby eating, not porn.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Pics of pit bulls, breastfeeding and the olive garden should come with warnings. I believe I had the same experience reading the post for the jury as the alerter did reading the thread
