Good for Ms Durham, It is about time that someone had the guts to speak out against this type of Garbage that is being pushed onto our children.
Merchandisers should be ashamed of themselves.Our kids have a hard enough time growing up in todays world without having sexual images and music such as Britney Spears splashed across the screen everytime they sit down to watch tv.
Advertisers need to stop making a buck off of prepubescent girls and just let them be little girls.
For soon enough they will have to face the realities of adulthood.
Little girls try to be grown up before they know what that even is, Or know how to handle it. They are making potential victims out of our girls by sending out the wrong messages.
We are afraid for our girls that some pedophile might be lurking arround the corner. It is time to put an end to this.
Parents stop letting your girls play with toys that are not age appropriate or give off the wrong message to little girls. Use better judgement. Talk to your child about what is appropriate.
