breast pump sale

some spam i recently got from amazon:

i have a couple problems with this. first where did “breastfeeding awareness month” come from? i’m all for human and non-human animals nursing their young but do we really need a month dedicated to it? there really ought to be another way to get the “you really ought to do something” message out. second, i did buy a gift from a friend’s registry from babies ‘r’ us. maybe people with friends with babies are people who have babies, but i’m not. therefore the only use i have for a breast pump (as part of the childless, non-lactating male demographic) is as a gift. could you imagine??
