Countries that outlaw marihuana and consent to children acting in movies, beauty peageants, TV and radio ads....

In today's world it seems to be easier to whore a child out to the highest bidder in the entertainment buisness than to protect him/her from sexual predators in the real world.

Even though I don't have any children and maybe I should shut up and wait until I do before stating my opinion on this, still I don't think children should in any way be allowed to engage in any commercial transaction.

See, if mentally challenged people are -legally speaking- disabled from any decision making role, simply because they can't assume all of the responsabilities of their legal actions, why shouldn't we understand that children -younger than 18- are not ready to assume those responsabilities either? And that by burdening them with adult-created-and-manipulated roles, jobs, expectations and work regimes, we're doing nothing but screwing these children over, really bad, over and over again?

As an argentinian 9 year ol' yelled in fron of La Casa Rosada: "con los pibes no se jode!!!!!".

HARVARD GAZETTE ARCHIVES

The whys and woes of beauty pageants

By William J. Cromie
Gazette Staff

They wore the latest colors of lipstick and matching eyeliner. Some had fake hair and even fake teeth. They pranced on stage in sequined gowns and rhinestone-studded jeans.


Occasionally there was a problem. One girl in a pink sequined dress began to cry. The tears carried streaks of mascara down her face. Her mother grabbed her and tried to get the girl to stop crying. When she didn’t stop, her mother dragged her off the stage by the hand.


Meanwhile, an unfazed announcer told the audience that the girl was 2 years old, from Massachusetts, and her life’s ambition is to bring happiness to all who come into contact with her.


The girl stopped crying and began to eat Cheerios with the other beauty-pageant contestants. Her mother began laying out her rhinestone-studded jeans for the next phase of the competition – modeling.


That’s the way Hilary Levey ’02 describes a scene at one of the beauty pageants she studies. "You have to wonder if that kind of thing is right," Levey commented. "I’m interested in understanding why people behave that way; so instead of just passing judgement, I decided to study it objectively. With the death of JonBenet Ramsey, there’s been a barrage of interest in beauty pageants but no sociological studies."


False Teeth and Barbie


Beauty pageants fit well with Hilary’s background. Her mother is a former Miss America (1970), and she has judged many of them. "I never competed in pageants myself, although they always interested me," Hilary noted.
