I think I need to stop watching TV all together.
As I sat on my couch, aimlessly surfing though channels, I found something so horrendous, and atrocious, I feel like a monster just talking about it. And not a cute adorable one either. More like the ones where they are people, and for whatever terrible reason you feel like screaming and bitch slapping them into the next century.
This form of child cruelty came in the form of a show call "toddlers in tiaras". It is a beauty pageant for toddlers, where it seems like the point is to not only make one's child look like one of those creepy ceramic dolls, but also torture the poor children. As an added bonus, there children will undoubtedly have more issues than Lindsey Lohan by the age of fourteen.
It is one thing if a child is old enough to think for themselves, and decided to go into one of these (deplorable) pageants, but throwing a four year old into one? What the hell type of parent does that? All the "stage moms" tell the cameras how they kids just love to do these things. My four year old nephew loves to climb and jump off of highly unstable items, but we don't let him. Just because your kid "loves" something, doesn't make it right. Your sixteen year old kid can love weed and orgies in your bed, but you are most likely going to make it clear that it is a no-no, right?
Apparently someone also needs to explain that these tears, screams, and bratty behavior does not equal love. There kids are shouting, and screaming the in till they get on stage, and then IF they win they will be happy for about 10 minutes, before reverting back to normal.
Why would you subject your child to such "beauty" treatments, which could easily be come illegal if the government looked into them, because they are cruel and unusual. They spend hours upon hours on these little kids hair, pulling, frying, and coating in so much hair spray that everyone in the room will undoubtedly have lung problems at some point in there life. Or they stick these FAT wigs on them, which is equally unpleasant. Then, have putting enough makeup on them to make a prostitute jealous and then shove these fake teeth in there mouths, that I know are unpleasant to wear.
When you think about it, these kids are going to turn out fucked up as shit. Most of them started these hellish torments at three (or earlier), and will keep doing them in till there late teens. Imagine the effect that has on the mind, being told that you need pounds of makeup, your teeth aren't good enough, your body isn't right, and you’re not talented enough, on top of always being compared to other girls, from that young of an age.
On top of it most of the kids a bratty as all hell.
And what type of parents subject there kids to that? They are toddlers. They should be in preschool, and playing outside, and making friends, not being coached in every category of there life.
Dear lord, our world is fucked up.
