What do you think of the cover of next issue of Time? **Image may offend**

105. I see nothing wrong with any family having their picture taken together

as long as both parents are adults. I don't make a distinction between families with differently sex parents and families with same sex parents. That has nothing to do with this. So no, that is not using a child in a way that could negatively impact him or her.

Look, this is what's known as a glamor shot. The woman is posed and made up and perhaps airbrushed. The kid is unnaturally looking into the camera. A shoot of this sort, btw, generally has more than the photographer present, and there are bright lights. She looks fresh as a daisy, not a hair out of place. She's model thin. There is not one thing natural about this pic. Nothing.

Maybe this woman is trying to make a statement about breast feeding, but frankly this if so she's doing it in a way that is not considerate of her child.

More likely, the mother is a narcissistic attention hound who treats her kid as an accessory. At the very least doing this demonstrates that she is the sensitivity of an armadillo.
