Hey, People! Leave our kids alone!
It’s a crazy world we live in. And seemingly getting crazier each year.
From America, we had the dual inventions of television and fast-food. Used separately, in moderation, both are pleasant to have.
Put them together, though, and we have a guaranteed pathway to obesity.
Not content with keeping artery-clogging, weight-gaining fast-food to themselves, our American cuzzies were generous enough to share their KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, Dominos, etc with the rest of the world. “Share the love”, as they say.
And the calories that go with it.
Keep the kids in front of the TV – another “gift” from American culture – with cartoons and other children’s programmes, and advertisers have a ready-made audience to market toys, branded clothes and shoes… and more fast food. (Just in case the little Darlings didn’t get the ‘message’ first time around.)
Kids getting overweight?
Not a problem.
Because our American mates have the solution;
Yep – a diet guide for six year olds “Maggie”, courtesy of Hawaii-based author Paul Kramer. Because Mr Kramer is obviously so concerned about obesity in his country that he decided to do something about it.
Exercise? Less junk food? More healthy eating? Nope. No profit there, folks.
Diet book? Plenty of profit!! Especially aimed at young children who are getting more and more body-conscious thanks to adults like… Mr Kramer.
And once little six year old ‘Maggie’ loses those “ugly kilos” (after buying his book, of course), we can enter her here;
Tart her up in sexy gear; teach her a raunchy little Las Vegas burlesque dance-routine; and she can be on her way to a career in…
…modelling!
Just like ten year old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau,
Yes, folks; legitamised paedophilia! Never mind the Raincoat Brigade – that old “Stranger Danger” is so “20th Century“. The 21st Century does it with ‘style’ and with glamour, fame, and big bucks in mind. There’s money to be made in six year old little ‘Maggie’ or ten year-old Thylane.
Next in line; sexy lingerie for children?!
And don’t let the critics interfere with the rights of parents to prostitute – er, I mean, to “let their kids have a good time”. These critics are just “wowsers, right? Why shouldn’t six and ten year olds do sexy little burlesque dances on stage? As the mother of six-year old Eden Wood said about her daughter,
“If you see sex when you look at my six year old child, that’s not her fault. It’s a sign of somebody being sick in the mind'”
Yeah… riiiight, Ms Wood, just because you dress your daughter in sexually-provacative, adult-style clothing, and then make her do a “bump’n’grind” routine on a public stage – that makes it everyone elses’ fault when they are repulsed by the objectification of your own child.
You know people, Western society is highly sexualised as it is. Whether it’s advertising; movies; tv programmes; or music videos (which are practically soft-porn these days), society uses sex for everything. And then we scratch our heads in bewilderment that kids are more sexually aware these days and teenage pregnancies have skyrocketed in the last few decades. Gee, you don’t think there might be a link?!
Now some groups in society are pushing at the last, previously off-limits, boundary: under age little girls.
They’ve sexualised and abused the bodies of mature women. Then teenagers. And now they’re after the bodies af girls 10 years old and younger.
We put people into prison for treating children this way.
But no longer. Because now there is money to be made here, and for some parents, that makes it ok.
Money. It makes everything seem ok.
Including paedophilia, it seems.

One of the US organisation responsible for these so-called “child beauty pageants” is called “Universal Royalty“. Their email address – in case readers would like to directly voice their concerns at the activities of this group – is;
There is no way in hell I’d let either of my daughters take part in any such competition. This is not about free choice,m it’s about protecting children from commercialisation and turning them into sex objects. I sincerely hope these rotten so-called beauty contests never set foot in NZ.
As for diet books for kids? Has the world gone insane? Send them out to play. A few hours running around like we did as kids will keep them healthy! And cut back on lollies and chippies! Too much of sugary and fatty foods is simply not healthy for anyone!
Hi,
I agree with you: noticing the sexual exploitation of children does not turn someone into a “pedophile”. Just because invisible Bob notices a child in a tiny bikini gyrating on a pole and recognises this as sexualisation, does not make invisible Bob a child-rapist. It makes invisible Bob a sensible man, who knows that children should be allowed to be children. I am not saying that children don’t have an innate sexuality (most do tend to explore their own bodies), but we should not force children to engage in these hypersexual activities, much less so for money. It’s basically pimping out your children. Thank you for your post.
This is a disgusting abuse of our children made worse because it is legal. I hope it never comes to NZ, our whole family would protest against it and we’ll boycott any company supporting any such “pageants”. It is legalised pedophilia.
