Does anyone honestly think that teaching a four year old to flaunt her behind and bend over suggestively is not going too far?

As it's only pretend Caulkhead, would you be happy seeing children simulate oral sex, or doggy style banging? After all it's only pretend!

I've only read the Daily Soovy version of this as posted in this thread, but I seem to have missed the bit where she's been flaunting her behind and bending over suggestively. All I can see is some rather tasteless images of a pushy mother dressing her kid up as Dolly Parton.

Your last paragraph is sufficiently ridiculous to not deserve a response.

Watch the video, if you've never ever seen any of these child pageants then I'll easily understand where you're coming from.

I don't think my last paragraph is ridiculous at all, so would like an answer please. After all it's OK to pretend a five year old has tits and sex appeal, why is it ridiculous to ask just how far this game of "pretend" should be allowed to go?

While this type thing irks me to no end, the one part that many may be missing is that she was dressing to imitate Dolly Parton, a long time country music star known for her massive breasts and curves. Still stupid though.

Jim what is the general American opinion of them?

The feeling is that innocent beauty contests are "cute"; however, lately, parents trying to force their children to look like some grown temptress from the cover of Penthouse is getting quite twisted. Again, this girl is costuming to imitate a woman known for boobs, like Haloween dress up. Overall though, this is getting stupid and damaging to the children. That seems to be the main view on this side.

I'd be interested to see what happens if you were to show a video of Dolly Parton to a bunch of little girls, then gave them access to a dress up trunk would they all pick to enhance their chests?

My gut instinct says no, I think it is only adults that remember Dolly for her tits, I think kids would remember other things instead! Innocence and all that!

Very good point.

'To some people, it's over the top, to us it's just what happens... It's just normal. When she wears the fake boobs and the fake butt, it's just like extra bonus.'

Take the child away, give to a deserving couple, desparate for children.

Give the mother a doll, she won't notice.

No, netmums are much dirtier.

I did see a post about someone doing a Pretty Woman thing on I-am-bored, I'm assuming that this is the video?

I could start a new pageant, pre-teen lookalikes of porn stars! We could have little Belladonnas and miniature Traci Lords all over the place!
