TLC - Toddlers and Tiaras - group trying to cancel show

[cubananglgurl]

How can any decent mother put her children through that?! Don’t the know the damaging phsycological and emiotional effects it has on childeren as they grow and develop??? Every ounce of those childrens self esteem is measured but how many crowns and titles they win. These mom’s are trying to live through their children and using them as cash cows. It sickens me to no end. most of those little girls you see right now are going to be battling anorexia within the next few years over their selfish parents. The children no nothing about manners and to be polite, what they need is a good spanking. These parents should be ashamed of what they’re doing just for some shiny baubles. I refuse to watch HOw can a mother say that one daughter is prettier than the other just by her nose?! that little girl is going to grow up and hate her mother. I truly believe that this should be considered as exploiting children. my heart goes out to all of those girls who’s mothers feel that they need to bathe their little girls in make up and wigs and parade them like little stippers. I’m only 17 years old and I WILL NEVER do that to any child that I will have. I am truly angry at TLC.

What I can't get over is these parents spend THOUSANDS of dollars in an effort to win a measily $5,000. That doesn't include travel and hotel accommodations. I admit that I've watched a few episodes. What breaks my heart the most is the way the parents drag their daughters kicking and screaming on stage in front of the judges.

I know this is kinda stupid to mention, but MooShoo is a retired cat show Regal. He enjoyed it for a while. Once he started hissing and crying while bringing him to the judging table I knew he had had enough. He is now a happy, well adjusted 11 year old couch potato cat show has been. But he's all mine!!!!!

I do hope they take that Toddlers and Tiaras off the air. I'm so tired of of reality shows. There are way too many and they get old fast.

I'm surprised that there isn't a reality show channel. That would be fine w/me. Then we could view them or not instead of having them peppered in w/regular TV shows. There's a game show channel and a soap opera channel; why not a reality show channel?

This whole thing is just wrong. Remember the murder of that little beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey?

There IS a "Reality Show Network" - I think Fox runs it. They run all reality shows all the time. I've run across it when surfing occasionally.

UGH!!!!!

I watched a big pageant the other day. Guess what the 2 top prizes were??? You will NEVER believe it...

Pug PUPPIES!!!! They couldn't have been more than 6 MAYBE 8 weeks old. The little kids that didn't win were crying. It was awfull.

That's a travesty!! I hope PETA and any and every animal rescue group saw it and has written the station in an effort to stop this bull!!

What if the family doesn't WANT the puppy??? What if they sell it or adopt it out to a less than honorable home?

I pray for those precious babies and I don't mean the pageant members either!!!

Really? Hmm, guess I missed that. I wish they'd put them all on that channel then.

I saw "Toddlers and Tiaras" for the first time last night. All those 6- and 7-year old girls being spray tanned and made up. There's something about it that's just wrong. TLC can take it off the air, but the little-girl pageant circuit will probably not suffer a bit.

THIS is the kind of crap that people think up for the kids.

Bad enough that the little ones don't know WTF is going on, worse when the stupid AH parents buy their kids stuff like this.

P.S.

Loved the Muley Cyrus pole dance on the ice cream cart. I pray Bully Ray gets a pain for pimping his daughter out like that.


BTW, if she's old enough to pole dance, why all the commotion about her stalker?
