Little girls being made up and made out to be like badly dressed/made up grown women and in two-piece bathing suits?? It's like pedophile paradise...I'm just... *shudder*
"Living Dolls", the documentary? I saw it on HBO a while back I think....it was horrible.

Edit: Forgot to add the best part...there was a little boy on there, and his mother said, with total sincerity "We just discovered that he has a growth hormone deficiency and we had to choose between getting him the treatment or paying for more pageants, and he told me that he'd rather do pageants". Because of course a six year old has the capacity to make that decision...
