That’s what several upset viewers are telling us they are seeing on Nolensville Road. The callers are concerned that children will see the anatomically correct breasts outside Jonathan’s Bar. After some quick research, we found out that they are there as part of Jingle Jugs for life tour.
According to the website, Jingle Jugs raises awareness for breast cancer: “the tour will consist of a convoy of vehicles, including a 53’ semi-truck trailer, artistically decorated outside, and retrofitted inside as a combination bar/grille/art gallery that will be opened to the public. This traveling breast museum will also display over 100 sets of plastic breasts (Jingle Jugs) uniquely decorated by many different artists. The creators of Jingle Jugs have partnered with multiple Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapters, who are using this product to raise funds for their national fraternity as well as for breast cancer research. A percentage of the proceeds from the sales of Jingle Jugs during this month-long tour will go to breast cancer organizations nationwide.”

The cause is good, but the term “jugs” is insulting to me. I’ve been a breastfeeding mom for 7 years, so I guess I just see the breast as a way to feed your baby.
The name is definitely an attention-getter, but what’s the big whoop about children seeing breasts? We all have them, unless, of course, they have been removed due to cancer.
