You may now be pregnant
April 2nd 2009 23:01
Pregnancy, it appears, is becoming acceptable in the United States.
A New York Times article has reported that times have changed since the 1950s when Lucille Ball was allowed to appear pregnant on I Love Lucy but was not allowed to say the word.
She said she was “expecting” instead.
Lately, however, the topic has so permeated prime time that America's best-selling home pregnancy test, First Response, has appeared in television programs (including Sex in the City) and films (including Marley & Me, Knocked Up and Juno) in the same way that Nescafé and Corn Flakes may appear — as part of the background of everyday life.
From Lucille's point of view, that was unexpected.
