I saw something on tv one time about child pageants and how some of those children get spray-tanned, hair extensions, eyelash extensions, and even capped teeth!

Sorry folks, this thread is too creepy for me. Think I'll just go and watch a zombie or vampire movie. At least then I know what's real and what's not. |

Does anyone remember that movie "Birth" with Nicole Kidman where the little boy was claiming to be her long-dead husband?
CREEPY. |
These images are creepy.
Could we please though not let this develop into a my image is creepier than your image contest? (We all know that images like these exist. I just wonder about the benefit - potential harm? - of reproducing them here). Words (personal triggers acknowledged) |

Not trying to squick anyone out, Words, but I get what you are saying. I am ok with linking to the page where the images reside (these are all hotlinked to someone else's webspace) so that people will have to click through a link. My intent was so that we could see what different types of media manipulation looks like (for instance, the baby heels? I would have never been able to picture that!) |
This thread actually made me a lil nausious. But it is a much needed one to get the word out.
I had a friend's daughter pass a few years ago. My grandaughter's best friend and play mate. My grandaughter wasn't there this day but usually was. Desiny Nortan http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...tinynorton.jpg She wasn't exploited but due to the exposer they read about in the guys diary....This type of thing played into it. Here is her story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny..._disappearance I believe we should start a huge petition against this and start spreading it everywhere. Get ACLU invovled as well. Though this case was directly related to her, I believe the exposer promtes to all children. In my opinion. JonBenet Ramsey http://karisable.com/jon_benet.jpg http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/n...y/index_1.html These are just 2 example out of many..I agree...something needs to be done. |
Isn't it odd that for the most part the sexual media sticks with our girl children?

SO true, and do you think that the toys that revolve around motherhood and being a wife and (EEEEKKKKK!!!) a *breastfeeding vest with a doll that sucks* for a 5-year-old to wear is a form of over-sexualization. I mean, girls receive images and messages just about from the time they are born that they must be a mother, a wife, etc. etc. Ai. Yi. YI. |

Not at all surprising! We live in a culture obsessed with preserving youth (think about how many ads you see for a youth regenerating serum/cream or a wrinkle prevention/fixing formula every day. Children are encouraged to grow up fast, and to seek the benefits that come with age--but they should stay twenty one forever. Women are socially indoctrinated to be good girls--innocent and pure--while being bad girls--sexually deviant, mischievous, naughty. It's no wonder that children are being placed as almost the archetypal woman. |
From early on girls are encouraged to be in supportive roles. Hence the toy vacuums, kitchens, make up, princess outfits, breast feeding dolls and pregnant Barbies.
I keep waiting for there to be a Child Support Ken or a chefs set for toddler boys. Instead boys are given trucks, tools, and narcissistic superheroes. They are frowned upon when attempting to engage in what is considered "girl" play. Which of course takes us to adulthood, where it is perfectly normal for Hugh Hefner the Crypt Keeper to shack up with three twenty somethings...but the media is rabid about Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore getting married and it spawns a series of "Cougar" themed media. Just blech. SO. What the fuck do you say to a Mom who drags a tot to these pageants? I want to slap them. Each and every one of them. |

I'm not picking on you, but this shit pisses me off. When boys DO get a cooking toy...he's a 'chef'...but when a girl gets a cooking set, she's 'just a housewife'? Again, It Just Pisses Me Off, Dylan...so off topic, I'm sure, and no...I haven't caught up. I'm committing my own pet peeve as we speak |
