Many of my friends have families now; I've been blessed to see the most beautiful children come from the knuckleheads I love to call fam lol. So as the holiday season comes near, I try to look out for the new toys. I TRY to be a good godmother lmao.
So when I came across this doll, I knew this toy-giving season would be a funny one.
Not sure of the maker, just saw the story about this doll on WGN news. Named the "Pole Dancer," this doll shakes and jirates on a tall silver pole beneath a disco ball. Luckily she's dressed like a little girl so your kids are sure this is a girl, like them, not an adult dancing on the pole. Look closely at the box, lmao the advertisement says "Up and down, go round and round." LMAO you know the mothers of America are going ham.
Parentdish.com has already started the search for this toy and its maker. I don't think it really exists. And if it does you'll probably find it at the stores w/no windows. Ya'll know what stores I'm talkin bout.
No, in America this toy wouldn't get past the pantent company's desk. There would be lawsuits from here to year 2012 and beyond. Strippers would get blamed for all these young teens getting pregnant and being hoes. Gentleman's clubs everywhere would be the sites of protests, while performers like Britney Spears and Lady Gaga make PSAs about how although they aren't "trying to be sexy, they're just expressing being a woman." Or it was just for fun. Or...
People would see the result of their actions. We live in a sex-drenched society geared to keep the image of what's beautiful ingrained in our minds. Look at exercise commercials, what are these people's goals? To fit into a certain size, they wanna look good in bikinis, shirts off, or mini skirts. Music videos? Let's not go there. Advertisements and commercials from laxatives (yea, check that Benefiber chick, she's hot) to beer to cars still use sex or sexual figures to sell products. They even brought back shows like 90210 and Melrose Place to further expose these goofy teens as sex thirsty rebels. Let's face it ppl, being sexy is cool. I aint' saying it's right, but it's the truth. Flash a titty, get talked about for months. Flash a charity check? Uh, yea that's nice but where's the titty? Lol even if you ain't got cable you can get off from a Spanish game show anyday. Them chicks be on there damn near naked!
SO who's to blame for this doll, whether real or not, and why are these parents trying to destroy it? I haven't heard any of Miley Cyrus's sales drop since she dropped it like it was hot on the pole at the Teen Choice Awards. Bratz dolls skirts seem to get shorter and shorter everytime I walk through the aisles at toy stores. These are results of a successful marketing method that has worked for years...SEX SELLS.
Its sells everything everywhere to everyone cuz who doesn't like sex? And children get smarter and smarter while they get more and more misguided. They see how guys react to the pretty, skinny, loose, "Spring Break!" ass girls. They see how much more fun it is to be what we see on MTV, shows like "The Bad Girls Club," ya'll know what I'm talking bout. This shit is inevitable.
I feel the stripper doll is a representation of what could possibly become of what we're feeding our children. We have to guide them from sunup to sundown, cuz the real influence happens outside the home these days. Hell we even got sexy teachers in school, fresh outta college and shit still 23 teaching young kids who wanna act like they 24 lol.
We have to educate them first, banning a doll won't ban their imaginations. Answer children's questions, be honest, show them the consequences of their desires. Got a little girl who wears too much makeup? Show her a pic of bad acne. Got a little boy who fights too much? Take him to the Roseland Hospital ER.
They say your personality is determined by age 6. So basically kids have an idea of at least what they want to do very early. It's up to us to let them know we've seen what happens, we've seen the results of what you're doing.
Cuz little Pole Dancer here may already be what some little girl has decided to be. It's never too late ya'll.
