    I mentioned the questionable shows TLC is running in another thread. Okay....so they're going for the big ratings......have they considered the messages they're sending out? As if we don't have enough problems raising our children anyway. Why would anybody want to cram this nonsense down young children's throats? It's insanity!!


    I've been Boo'd...
    Thanks Barry!

    D&D, where is the other thread? I saw a commercial for this show with the preschool girl beauty pageants. It's not the show that makes me as mad as the idea of what these little girls are expected to do.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    Elyse, I think it was the one about the woman that recently gave birth to octuplets. I can't seem to remember for sure. TLC is seemingly supporting the family with 18 children, men with multiple wives, etc.

    That's a series called "Big Love". TLC did a show where a journalist interviewed polygamist family.

    Beauty pageants for children send the wrong message not only to the children but, as others have mentioned, they encourage pedophiles. It's always creeped me out. I read just yesterday that My Space has removed 10,000 registered sex offenders from their site. It's mind boggling and so scary to raise kids today. Parents need to be hypervigilant.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Out of curiosity, I watched one episode. The youngest was carried onto the stage (she was only 5 months old). The gyrating and sexual implications really made me uncomfortable. It was quite obvious that it's the parents who get more out of beauty pageants than the kids do. It's child exploitation, plain and simple.

    Oh, and the series "Big Love" is fiction, as well. The main character is played by Bill Paxton.
