The Travesty of Our Youth

Well, this -- http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1935635 -- is apparently what our generation has to look forward to. The next round of Britney Spearses and Paris Hiltons are among us and in full form at what? Age 8? Maybe 9 or 10? Good God. I'm not saying these little girls aren't talented. How many of us can bend and stretch like that and keep in rhythm? I sure as hell can't. But couldn't these children put their talent to a more productive, less provocative use? Try getting in to Juliard. Or put on a U-12 production of Swan Lake. With moves like that, these kids could surely manage a simple ballet or classical masterpiece. Or something fun, something Fame-esque. It's too bad the cat calls and applauding for which their mothers have undoubtedly taught them to yearn won't come from anything but this kind of performance to which they've probably already grown accustomed. It's sad. Really sad. Mothers, can we grow up and quit living vicariously through our pre-adolescent daughters? Or maybe that is the goal. To breed tiny sluts.

First female president? Doctor? Lawyer? Forget it. We've got a new batch of Mileys coming right up.
