I agree totally – it’s a train wreck! In May 2008 I was so incensed by this type of thing I wrote a blog post: Too Young For Spas
(http://ellenbesso.com/midlifemaze/?cat=22&paged=4). It ties in beautifully with what you’ve just written.

And I’ll definitely check out the ‘Pretty’. Thanks for talking about a very important topic.

Sometimes I ask myself,’How can anyone as smart as you be addicted to Toddlers and Tiaras?’ Dunno,just am. Can’t wait for Pretty.

This show looks funnier than 99% of the stuff on TV these days. I’ll watch it for damn sure.

I’ll be sure to go look, your review makes it sound like fun. I loved Little Miss Sunshine and the absurdity of the whole situation.

THAT. WAS. HYSTERICAL.

I’m hooked. URL is bookmarked. I’ll be tuning in.

Thanks for the tip.

The real thing is so disgusting that I am glad to see some spoofing. I don’t think many parents will get it unles they are hit with a frying pan.

More subtle but not a lot less ugly sexualization of children happens with almost no comment elsewhere.
