Child beauty pagents. Look at this one and express your opinion.

When I was a kid we used to go fishing and shoot bb guns.

So did I and look at all the mayhem we cause.

That's a really stupid way to fish.

Don't tell me... you came up with this idea while stoned, right?

On the topic.... I can agree with the notion of "if that's what the kids want to do..." Looking at the video, she's a cute kid, and I don't live in Venezuela (where the video came from), so what's "normal" in one place might not be in another.

The families on my street have a crop of girls (and one boy who is going to realize in a few years he is the luckiest guy on earth), and they are cute, good kids. The other night when the adults were sitting around in lawn chairs enjoying a few cold ones, the kids got all dressed up in funny outfits and put on a "chorus line" number for us that was cute, hilarious, and a perfectly innocent kid thing to do. The "organized pageant" thing kind of creeps me out, along the lines of the other comments here, but then again I never liked organized Little League baseball, in comparison to simply getting together with other kids in the neighborhood and playing a game.

Overall, there is waaay to much "adult organizing" of what kids do with their play time across the board.

But, anyway, that's a cute girl. I'm so glad I didn't have little girls, because I'm sure they would have turned me into mush.
