A lot has been said about the inappropriateness of the MTV show Skins, with the censorship group Parents Television Council calling it "child porn," which of course, it isn't.
I'm always disturbed by people who so freely use that phrase.
Behemoth retailer Wal-Mart has announced plans to sell a line of cosmetics called Geo-Girl, which is aimed at girls between the ages of 8 and 12. Set to be introduced next month, Wal-Mart says this target group of consumers has a buying power of 2 Billion dollars.
2 Billion dollars? Damn, that's a lot of babysitting money, huh?
I wonder what the PTC is going to have to say about this, because I believe that marketing a line of cosmetics to little girls is WAY more disturbing than anything that is currently being serving up on the MTV.
