TLC - Toddlers and Tiaras - group trying to cancel show

[moosmom]

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?

Read the comments that people posted. One person wrote "the perfect gift for the little prostitot!" It certainly is no mystery why females are considered by some men merely as sexual objects to be used. Any parent who would dress their little baby in this get up isn't a parent at all, but a pimp.

Mary,
Don't encourage me!

The people who think that a shirt like this "would be cute" are the people that need to be slapped in the head!

LOL, I can't read the comments because I end up having to join and I hate to make up a 'persona' and fill out the 'required fields' on a site I may never visit again.

I get creeped out when I see kids made up and dressed like hookers. I hate to say this, but the people that RUN these contests are the shiat on my shoe.

Now, I may be out of line with this comment? IT's what I have seen on the shoes and pretty apparent.

There are two kinds of people that run these car wrecks?

The first is the washed up "teen queen" that is a few decades removed from participating. She just wants to keep that great feeling of competition going.

THe second?

The people that travel around to this events and charge beau coup dollars to make up a child.

------------------

LOL,
I saw this man on the local FOX channel this morning with his daughter -His the one that dotes on the 4 year old and preps her for the 'shows'.

The guys who do this for their daughters are more than entertainment for me.

He started pimping the kid when she was 3 month old.

I didn't have to join to read the comments. I just clicked on "comments" and was able to read them. There were a few people who think that the idea is "cute" but the majority feel as you and I do. This is why I can't understand why the show is enough of a success to keep it on the air.
