Toddlers & Tiaras Reaches a New Low

by at .

Toddlers & Tiaras is a show on TLC that focuses on parents who dress their children up in ridiculous outfits, force them to learn a talent and then pressure them to perform in tyke-based beauty pageants around the country.

In other words: there's very little high ground to be found anywhere on this series.

Yet the reality program has still managed to reach a new low, airing a promo this week that focuses on Paisley, A THREE-YEAR OLD CONTESTANT, who is dressed like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, i.e. a prostitute.

Rages the Parents Television Council in response: "We have a serious problem when a network formerly known as The Learning Channel features a toddler, who probably hasn't even learned to read, dressed as a prostitute showing off her sexy strut.

"For years we've seen adult sexuality being inappropriately and aggressively foisted on innocent young children, but children today are being sexualized at younger and younger ages. All available data suggests they will suffer for it later in life."

What do you think of this crude get-up?

    I take huge offense to the "from the south, ignorance" statement. I am Texas born and raised, and I think all of this crap is rediculous, and just a step away from stripping. Maybe you need to re-examine yourself for that ignorant comment, jackass.

    Well, these parents are pretty ignorant. They must come from the south, where ignorance breeds. Not everyone i know. But like bill maher said the girls are dressed up to look like prostitutes. thats it. Just more fuel for the predators, child rapists,etc. I guess noone learned anything from the death of jonbenet ramsey. Keep it up parents good job.
