Stupid, stupid, stupid....

I am an official mom.  That's what Motrin says.

Apperantly, the following scene has taken place at Motrin headquarters

Greedy Corporate bigwig: How can we raise our sales?

Slimy Immoral Underling: Maybe if we can undermine the confidence of new moms. It worked for the formula companies and when the capitalist healthcare market decided to oppose midwifery.

GCB: Great idea! But who can we target?

SIU: Baby wearing. Women have done it since the beginning of time, but I am sure we can attack it from some angle-we can definitely go passive-aggressive...

What resulted was this:

Way to go, Motrin.  Awesome job underming the decisions mothers make and have made for thousands of years. I am sure that the women in Africa and Asia only babywear to be cool, the same reasons I obviously do it.

I understand your issue w/the ad.  I found it slightly amusing..kind of like the ramblings that go on in my own head sometimes.  I was a baby wearing mom when mine were little enough and still carry them a lot, even though they are three and five).  I also snuggle, rock, and hold  them until my legs and arms cramp up and/or fall asleep...does Motrin make a pill for that?
