I love The Office. But this clip, and the other mentions of breastfeeding on the show, don't really reflect the cleverness of the show. It actually bothers me less that the jokes are breastfeeding-phobic than that they're just kind of tired.
There are a lot of funny things about breastfeeding, but they don't seem to be able to get past the "ew, gross!" or the "ooooh, a breast!" themes.
The funny thing is that the actress in the clip, Melora Hardin, is quite an attachment parenting mother. More on breastfeeding in the media next week...
