Right Minded, with appropriate disdain, points us to the site where you can order kiddie Halloween costumes where the little ones can dress up as, and I quote, a "child pimp" or "a child ho."
Lee was more reserved due to the concern of what a search engine might pick up. I'm not so worried about that when I see in my referral files some of the wacked out query strings that bring folks/deviants to my what-must-be-a-dissapointment-for-them site.
The Young Master Pimp Daddy-in-Training
Doesn't Junior look adorable in his cheetah-skinned coat, ready to backhand a hold-out ho with his left hand and take in his protection fee with the right.
Precious *and* Precocious!
and
The "Hey, Honey, Let's Dress up our Daughter like a Prostitute because Whoring is Funny" Costume
Ohhhhhh, Tiffany looks so sweet! And she's smiling with perfect teeth, just like a *real* prostitute!
This costume is advertised with this "clincher:"
No, there's no putting a price on this kind of travesty. It's prostitution on multiple levels. No, wait....I guess you can put a price tag on it..just a few pennies under $48 is all it takes!
Let me just vent for a moment here that the parents of these children who were forced to pose for these images should be ashamed. And if they're not ashamed, they should be shamed. And if they can't be shamed, they should be forced to wear these outfits themselves with the images posted on the Internet.
It's not funny. It's not cute.
The outfits do come with this warning:
You know what.....neither is the innocence of a child.
Children are given to adults to raise, nurture, grow, and protect. These images should be the primary exhibits in the rock solid cases of neglect to be filed against their parents.

Grrrrrr
It's fecal matter like this that makes me wanna reach out and 'touch' someone.
I think the person who thought of this idea, the company that made them, the people are selling them as well as the parents who might think this is a good idea should all be shot.
