Just What the Young Ho' Needs...


I'm pretty sure that extraterrestrials are watching our planet and wondering how such a stupid species as "humans" can continue to survive. Not only are we warlike and violent, but we're lazy, as well. As a group, we're content to allow consumerism to dictate our morals and set standards for our kids, and that's where we get the foul horror known as 'Baby Bratz'.


Thing2 will be turning 3 in July and so yesterday, I was happily scanning the aisles in Target, looking for some good ideas to pass on to the grandparents... "Hmmmm. Disney Princess dress-up shoes... Play-Doh... Polly Pockets... Prostitutes in a Box--WHAT THE F***?!!!!"


Yes, dear friends, there is a horror known as 'Baby Bratz', supposedly suitable for ages 3 and up. This doll looks like a pedophile's wet dream. A toddler/preschooler aged girl with heavy lipstick, slutty sloe-eyes, and exposed body. AAAACK! UGH! HORROR OF HORRORS! They look like cover models for a porn magazine. I'm surprised they don't come with Baby Bratz condoms!

Why do companies sell these types of toys? Why do parents buy them? I was truly nauseated. I think that girls have a hard enough time with image and sexual pressure as it is and along comes a stupid company (MGA ENTERTAINMENT) who is trying to set the slut-o-meter at 3 years old. I think this company's executive board should be put on the 'America's Most Wanted Pedophile List'. They're foul, money-grubbing perverts without a shred of good sense. The parents who purchase this for their kids should get a rap on the head with a brick and sent off to SexEd 101. HELL-O??? Don't you think your kid is going to try to emulate this look? Knock, knock, is anyone home in that stupid parent skull? HELL-O?

Thing2 will NOT be getting any Bratz or Baby Bratz -- EVER -- and no effing Barbies, either, if I can help it. I'd rather give her books or baseball bats. That's BATS, not BRATS.


Have you seen these slutty things? Give 'em a look next time you're in Target or Wallmart or a toy store and tell me what you think.

I totally agree. It's bad enough that girls are socially influenced by the crap on TV and in the malls, but to put little slut-dolls in their hands is just horrible irresponsible.

You're not alone in this Infomatrix, I saw a story about this very subject here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=448008&in_page_id=1770

It really makes me wonder about the future of humanity.
