So now these people are tired of kids and trying to sexualize babies?? Not the ones who invented the baby bikini thing. The ones that are making it a controversy. They're fricken babies. They're the ones looking and thinking "babies look too sexy in that". Of course you have to blame this current media obsession with pedophilia and not the parents who are being cautious as a result. no different from any fear news stations create for viewers. But this involve disturbing exploitation of children!
Americans distrust each other so much that everything everyone does is considered creepy now. Can you talk to a woman at a bar? No, too creepy. Can you say hello to a passing child? Nope, too creepy. Can you tell a co worker that she has a nice smile? Nope, too creepy. Can you have Katie Perry in a wedding dress on an episode of Sesame Street? Nope too creepy. Now you can't dress you child in a swimsuit to go swimming. America is turning into the Taliban. Land of the free, Bullshit!
Its like in australia where the news stations broadcast reviews on that's the better frozen chips you can buy, forget about exploitation of children we get freaking french fries!
not child explotation just female exploitation, a 3-6 month old boy wont be wearing a bikini. and as we all know the world has no problem sexuallty exploitating women; tv shows, music, movies, magazines, beauty pageants (they even have them for kids now).
Being a charity which takes money to "stop the exploitation of children" and then uses it to fight consenting ADULT sex work and buy bibles to spread their faith. YES.
Again, clearly you just don't get it, you refuse to doubt what a group claims they do and dig a little, and expose them to some scrutiny. Methinks eventually you will grow out of it, but I am done wasting my breath for now. Toodles!
Citation needed? That's just how I write, and speak, on the whole, actually. Not my fault your generation doesn't know how the language actually works anymore.
There are quite a few videos debunking Love146 and similar roups who misuse donated funds, not my fault you havent bothered to watch them.
And yes, you are lacking in skepticism, because you havent questioned any of it. Also not my fault. =P
@OfMalta I can kind of see your case for saying that the questions are condescending, but I don't see how they are loaded.
A loaded question would be, "There are many ways in which a person can help prevent sex exploitation of children, so why aren't you practicing any of these methods?" (This makes the assumption that the person isn't practicing any and that they could practice any if they wanted to.)
I could just as easily claim that YOU are saying that it doesnt matter if a group is lying about it's motives, so long as it claims the money it raises is going to a "good cause". Do you always believe what you are told without question?
And to be honest, I have little concern what a 14 year old boy thinks about how "intellectual" I am, especially when they are so gullible and lacking in skepticism.
@BobChaos23 Regarding charities lying about what the money is used for....ask yourself how much of every dollar they raise should be spent on bibles and such, and how much should be spent on the issue they claim to be raising money for. You might be surprised how much of the money people donate is being spent not on what those people were donating towards, but on spreading the faith instead.
Of course, it matters not a bit so long as they tell a good story, huh?
@Nathan2all97 You are the one making assumptions about it being "simply because they are Christian". Look at their website if you would, actually try reading it, and then gain enough life experience to be able to tell when a group like that is saying one thing and doing another.
Oh, and then there is that clip of the founder of the group talking about spreading the word of Jesus, but I will let you find that clip on your own, if you know how to look things up, which I seriously question.
That is actually the proper spellingfor the pronunciation of Usama (Uh-sama). But it was changed to Osama for American audiences years ago because, when they saw the word Usama they would pronounce it you-sama.
Well, the more I look at kids in any kind of cutesy clothes the more they just look like dogs wearing sweaters to me. But I guess that would make me a dog too because I still wear clothes.
Oh come on, bikinis for babies aren't by any means bad or to exploit. My daughter has some and I don't even force her to wear them, if she likes it what can I do? Same as some ideas she gets from TV characters like Sharpay, that's not sexual abuse or whatnot, it's part of their exploration and looking for their identity
Media says what we want to hear. Its nice hearing about baby bikinis, sharing the opinion with family or even thinking about it, deciding if its right or wrong, and sleeping well that night. now lets say the media covers child slavery, there is no opinion, its obv wrong. and we all feel wrong because we cant do anything about it, feel down and dislike tv later. That about sums it up.
You know that they didn't show an actual baby in the bikini because as soon as you see a baby wearing one is mind-numbingly obvious that it's just cute and not perverted. Just image.google "baby bikini" and you'll see.
Babies run around in nothing but a diaper all the time, and no one compares that to a full grown woman running around without a top on.
@zippythewildone It's true.. I had to google it after watching this, and it just doesn't look "wrong" at all, it looks.. the way babies normally look. Babies are ALWAYS naked.
However they do look pretty impractical, (There's no way those tops will stay on for long, especially in the water.. I had a 2-piece before puberty - my choice - and that top came off every time I jumped in the pool) and the parents who buy them are really only serving their own desire to use their baby as a dress-up doll.
@GuacamoleKun I don't think it's self-serving to buy cute clothes for your kid... I mean maybe if you buy them 15 baby bikinis, that's weird lol. Though practicality is a good point to bring up.
Baby Bikinis are incredibly creepy and only used by self-serving parents so I don't mind if the media points that out, but yes they do need to spend much more time covering sex exploitation of children.
@BCBtheBeastlyBeast Its a bathing suit. There is a difference between a tasteful bikini and a G-string. Baby bellies are cute the same way their smiles are. That is not sexual. To link that to sexuality means the observer has issues. Not the parent.
@Poppaconn And I'm not a parent, just one of the reasons I see it differently. I don't even find baby bellies "cute", so that definitely has to do with it.
John Stewart made a similar point in the interview with Chris Wallace (which you covered) when he said he felt there was a bias in the mainstream media toward sensationalism. It's interesting you covered this right before that interview because, while Wallace's comments confirm that there is an ideological bias at Fox News, this clip confirms Stewart's statements regarding sensationalism. So, Fox is biased in the same way every media news outlet is biased in addition to their political agenda.
really is that the most appropriate cut away they could think of?
i know its not the most important issue brought up here, but i'm sick and tired of having to discuss sexual child abuse right now as, once again, i have had to hear about another friend/family memeber whos been molested, its creepily frequent, and most often its teachers
I think the media has a tendency to sugar coat what is really happening in the world to make it more favorable for viewers. While genocide and oppressive regimes thrive in many countries, the news media only covers the material they think will keep their viewers watching, rather than informing the public what is really going on in the world.
The sex slavery going on in the world has men, women and children. Its every where, even the USA! I think if half the money going to the bs war on drugs went to the real serous issue of sex slavery, it could at least make the business in the USA too much of a cost risk. I also believe those involved should be executed if found guilty. I also stand by legalizing consenting adult prostitution would lower crime, take some of their business away, lower disease and provide a tax to fight sex slavery.
Those who would oppose the idea of legalizing consenting adult prostitution, I ask you this... 1st let me add, by making this legal prostitute would have to, submit to monthly screenings for disease, 18 yr depending on state laws. W/ that being out of the way, despite any other reason from morality to adultery, I ask you, is it worth the risk of anyone being a sex slave? This would help fight sex slavery in the USA, how could any other object could you have matter over ridding the world of this?
they had baby and little kid bikini's since I was a kid and long before. Remember that sun block that had the little girl only wearing a bottom and a puppy was pull at it, showing her little butt. It was completely innocent! Yes I'm sure so sickos would get excited, but they'll be like that regardless, they are sicko! Its just this mentality that nudity is always sexual even to the most innocent. Whats next? Valentine's day Cupids are gonna have to wear a burkha? (spl)
lol @ baby bikinis. half the time they're in nothing but diapers, and once they figure out they can take off their own clothes, good fucking luck keeping them from romping around the house naked!
most of american media is busy in defending wars and scaring american ppl of terrorists and shit, they dnt hav time for child slavery, screw the american media
There are definitely real issues with human trafficking. I don't know why Fox would waste air time talking about baby bikinis. I take that back. I do know why they would. They have to fill up a 24 hour news cycle somehow. Anyway, this isn't a new thing. I've seen babies/toddlers in two pieces for as long as I can remember. This is all just silliness.
@TheLaughingOut Oh, but you don't understand....they SAY they don't prosthelytize, so therefore they must not be doing that.
Of course, the fact that they include virtually anyone that meets a certain criteria as "at risk", and then encourage people to claim that those are the numbers of children ACTUALLY trafficked, and then (like most other anti-trafficking groups) go after things like Craigslist that ADULTS are using, is besides the point, huh? O_o
@BobChaos23 Yep, their idea of someone who is "at risk" is someone who masturbates or is gay. Real sex positive Laci! They say they don't prosthelytize and then in the next two paragraphs they explain what they do and I've got to wonder if they know the definition of prosthelytize at all. That's exactly what they do. And these supposed skeptical thinkers backing this charity makes me sick. Laci and LV owe anyone who donated to these charities an apology.
@TheLaughingOut Hey! Giving bibles to people and telling them that Jesus loves them and doesn't want them to live a sinful lifestyle isn't prosthelytizing! It's....something else.
And he won't apologize, I would bet money on that.
$23 dollars, to be precise....not that being precise matters, fuzzy math apparently rules the day.
Love146 is an overtly christian organization which uses bogus statistics.....the same stats you quote in this video at 1:32 ("over 100,000" has been debunked)....shouldn't you really be checking your facts before supporting a charity like this?
Or the facts don't matter so long as someone tells you it's "for the children"?
I guess your response to this will tell all your long time subscribers like me if you actually care to know what "we think", huh?
@BobChaos23 wrote: "Love146 is an overtly christian organization which uses bogus statistics.....the same stats you quote in this video at 1:32 ('over 100,000' has been debunked)....shouldn't you really be checking your facts before supporting a charity like this?"
I've put up an annotation at 1:34 quoting the source of the 100,000 number clarifying what it means. Also, though founders of Love146 are Christian, it's not proselytizing or "faith based."
@LiberalViewer Of course they claim they aren't prosthelytizing. See the video I just sent you. The just "offer counselling"...nice euphemism.
As for the stats, a child who runs away from home only to come back later in the same day would be included in the "at risk" stats, along with anything else they feel puts someone "at risk".....this means they are outrageously inflated...aka "a lie".
@BobChaos23 I also certainly hope you have actually watched the video FeministWhore put as a response to this video, goes into more detail than I could.
Of course, putting an annotation on a video everyone has already watched and you know no one will see is nothing compared to making a video asking Laci why she supported a christian charity (and it is, if you actually read their literature)....but then, you won't be doing that, of course. =(
@LiberalViewer There is a world of difference between saying 100,000 are forcefully engaged in prostitution and pornography each year vs 100,000 are at risk. A world of difference. Especially when most cities keep no records at all of such activities. The estimates currently being used are exaggerated conflation of risk and forceful sexual abuse and slavery. Not to mention the chart in that study conflates the two. Not to mention they include children simply surfing the net.
@LiberalViewer how is the number of children who 'might' be 'at risk' in Love146's 'opinion' relevant, especially when you could use some actual factual numbers and of course the fact that the annotation completely contradicts what you said in the video.
@LiberalViewer well LV, (epic initials btw:), the sexualisation of children recently became a big thing in the modern world, like in the UK where these bikini's and the like are being pulled off of shelves. So I personally think fox news could be excused from presenting the issue in America over child trafficking (unless awareness is low).... If they explained it in a way obviously not meant to rile up over zealous christians for their own political purposes.
Well, i think bikini's for babies are silly. I dont think it turns babies into sex objects but some of the clothing propaganda aimed at tweens is a bit alarming. As for real child sex slavery, that's sad.
Americans routinely sexually assault their male children. They say it's for "medical benefits" yet you could amputate nearly any body part unnecessary for life with that excuse, while they only ever validate the amputation of the foreskin because of their perverse fetish for surgically altered male genitals.
@thisfool89 It's not that i'm saying that the medical "benefits" are zero, Afterall, you cut off ANY body part then you won't have ANY maladies associated with them.
I'm saying the only reason you pedophile sadists sexually assault your children is because you find the end result to be aesthetically pleasing (a surgically altered penis deprived of the most sensitive tissue).
Afterall, you don't double mastectomy because Americans like boobs, You don't labiaectomy, because you're ethnocentric.
Yes it is ridiculous when they could be talking about things actually happening to children and how to stop that. More than correct. I do think though that the fact they feel they need to ask the question really shows what they think about their viewers.
The fact that someone would make that is a little weird. The fact that Fox shows it, poses a serious situation and then turns it into a bit of a comedy skit with that song... is even a little more disturbing.
.. 'little or nothing as I'm not a power-broker (neither in my own world nor that one), however I do generally hold the position that common right-wing paranoia and fear-mongering doesn't help that (any?) situation with the possible exception of the financial books at Fox media'
Why just show a clip from Fox News? All media cover fluff stories like this one on Fox about the babikini. Yet, just showing Fox do it lends to the argument is that your channel is "You vs Fox". Which would be fine, but if that were the name I'd never spend as much time watching your videos. I expect more than Fox...not Fox like.
I'm not sure that reporting on the controversy (real or imagined) of the appropriateness of children's clothing detracts from attention that might be paid to sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. Although this video is about babies' bikinis, I think what kids wear, and how they wear it, contributes to their self-image and psychological health. I do not think that the baring of skin is inherently wrong, but perhaps parents and their children may benefit from a little more modesty.
hmm this must be an american thing because here in UK it isn't uncommon for young kids to have two piece swim suits. Here, at least, they are often frilly or puffy and often horrible colours IMO making them rather unattractive garments. They aren't meant to be attractive but practical, especially if the child is wearing those swim nappies.
anyone who sees anything untoward in that has a twisted mind.
This is just business as usual for Fox. Yesterday they had a segment about a 15 yo girl marrying 51 yo man. Fox news grabs at any chance it gets to sexually objectify young girls and then attempts to pass it off as news.
@GodsArePeopleToo No, it is not tantamount to telling women they get raped because of what they wear. It is tantamount to putting a fence around your yard when you raise a puppy so that harm does not befall it when it can't discern its boundaries. There are things that may do the puppy harm, so while the puppy is not responsible for staying in the yard on its own, it is the caregiver's obligation. When young, irresponsible puppies, people, etc. go out of bounds, they are more vulnerable.
@joeywest1 - i think you missed the point i'm asking about. saying babies in bikinis makes them more of a target for pedophiles places responsibility on the person putting the clothes on the baby rather than on the pedophile, much like saying a woman in a short skirt asked to be raped takes responsibility off the rapist and makes it the woman's fault
I have to say I find bikinis for children somewhat inappropriate, but sexual exploitation? Nonsense! However, I don't think infants are supposed to be in situations where they'd need them in the first place; extended periods of bright, direct sunlight? Infants' skin is much too sensitive for that...
News networks, especially 24 hr news networks, should definately spend time covering huge world issues like sexual exploitation, child slavery, genocides, and smaller conflicts that are going on around the world but they don't want to because those things don't bring in ratings. People don't want to watch an expose on blood diamonds, where they see people killed for the stones, because it makes them feel bad and feel depressed and people don't want to feel that way.
@Ianniello Well said. It's criminal how skewed news is towards some issues and not others.
Where are the news stories about shale gas "fracking"? It's an environmentally dangerous and toxic process...but I have only seen one small documentary on it.
They should cover how much Money they make off human and drugs trafficking, and having the Police and Courts Launder the Fine Money through the Banks that support the Media and Wall Street that hijacked our Government, to make a revolving door for Pimps and Prostitutes and Drug Dealers and Drug addicts that the Media helped brainwash the Public to support enslaving & Fining them, with their Tax Money. tinyurlDOTcom/5svetk2
Bikinis for toddlers is creepy. I agree the media does need to spend more time covering more serious issues, but I think these bikinis for tots approaches the same themes. I don't agree with having beauty pageants for girls under 10 either. Covering the baby bikini story is a rating grab as opposed to more issues that's too depressing for ratings, which is why Viewer Ratings should not apply to News, nor should news programs not allowed to have sponsors, that's when the truth is compromised.
@DeathOfAMudkip Umm - NO - I JUST PICKED A NUMBER - 11 or 12 or 13 ISN"T FINE EITHER - Don't accuse me of crap like that. WTF is wrong with you. I'm not accusing you of anything but... it sounds like I offended someone who likes to go to child functions while he grabs his privates. I certainly hope that isn't the case you fu@king nut. BTW - Stay away from chunky cheese restaurants.
@DeathOfAMudkip What kind of pedophile are you? - you sick fuck - what Bawbster1 is saying, you fucking tool, is that this is creepy behaviour. Why are you defending this? Do you have child porn on that computer of yours - you sick cocksucker. Go ahead and defend bikinis for babies. You find that stimulating do you? Do us all a favor - go slit your fucking wrists you sick shithead.
I think there are two reasons behind what the media chooses to cover with this issue. The first is that their primary motivation is ratings; it's easy to sensationalize "baby bikinis", but an honest look at exploitation would make for depressing television and many viewers would change the channel in search for something more entertaining. The second is that they would have to acknowledge that the wars on vice exacerbate the problem, something that is too radical for corporate media.
I don't get it. This is not new! When i was yough (in the 80's) bikini for young children were normal and ok. Babies run in diapers or naked all the time and we don't give a shit. What the hell is wrong with those retarded fox reporters???
It's a non-issue. 3-6 months old? At that age we give them swim pants and call it a day. Why bother with the top bit? Boy nipples, girl nipples, same difference at that age. If the swim pants aren't pink, we can't even TELL the difference!
Fox news just like shocking headlines, and unfortunately, the tactic does work, as far as ratings go.
On the one hand this was not something that should have been covered on a news channel as more then something in passing.
On the other hand...why in the name of all that's rational and good would you put a young child in one of these. Whether or not you like wearing revealing clothing is your choice. Making it for a baby is not on, Bikini's are designed to be sexy, that's one reason they have the coverage of underwear.
Bread and circuses, don't show them any real darkness because it will cause unrest... for if they [the public] knew/cared about the truths of the world, they'd be angry.
Dude, Laci Green, really? I agree with what she says but she panders to the can't get any, has never seen breasts in real demographic by positioning her camera to show off her admittedly fantastic rack.
Does anyone else find that song being played on fox for that story also incredibly tasteless? I agree that child-trafficking needs to be eradicated but I was a child put into clothing I should not have been in and it did lead to the same issues (minus any money involved, not that it makes a difference). The argument about worrying about a person asking why ones child is in adult-style clothing can be from someone concerned about what the person buying the clothing is thinking too.
@NyanBoi that is *exactly* what I thought too... tasteless. It makes me think of Mark Halperin calling Obama a dick, and Bill O'Reily interviewing... well anyone. There is a serious lack of taste, and while that's not a crime in itself, it suggests that there is a dangerously relaxed attitude towards the duties of a news service. But let's be honest, these are merely gossip shows *dressed* in news service's clothing... somewhat like a toddler... wearing a bikini. :)
hey i was wondering if your views are that it is better to side with liberals than conservatives?(i don't think it is) This is mainly for voting reasons but i was wondering if you could do a video about something that conservatives actually did right(it probably wont come from fox). My view is that everyone should be an independent and not just vote for one side so i think that if you are a republican or democrat then your not thinking enough because both sides have good and bad
Here's the sad truth I see: If we are to keep privacy of one's life in play, that means that we're never going to 100% abolish child pornography. We can hinder it as much as possible, but stopping child porn altogether means breaking a few rules.
Here's something hypocritical, Fox News supports private business, yet they're criticizing a private business's product? Also, why would Fox News care about child prostitution and human trafficking when the oil companies and Koch Brothers are paying them to make solar energy and alternative energy look bad so that we stay dependent on oil?
Fox aside... exploitation of girls, women and children begins with a kind of "grooming" preparing their minds to accept exploitation as inevitable. Sexualization of young girls is a kind of grooming.
I think this story does have a political bias. Cuz FOX painted themselves as the champions of defending child exploitation when they came out with their bogus ACORN coverage. They obviously dont care too much about when children are realyy being sexually exploited. They only like bogus claims when their is something political to be gained from it.
i think, the best story would look at the children wearing bikinis issue and relate that all up to the huge issues and problems talked about in this vid. but, the clip shown is only the tag that comes before the break, i was wondering what the actual story would've been like? i mean, its only a tag, its not as though it says everything that will be talked about. i do think the way it was played out so light heartedly was wrong... with the bikini song. its a serious issue
For some reason the whole "superficial vs. real problem" thing reminds me of the 2008 election where people were OBSESSED with Obama's skin and Hillary's tits.
id like to see ur take on the lupe fiasco segment on the O'Rielly Factor today, 6/20, interesting to see O'Rielly almost support Obama and will be interesting to see ur view on it
Well, alot of parents do dress their kids a bit too "sexy". My rule is, if I go to jail for having a photo of them dressed like that you can't dress them like that! I have seen 5 year olds at the mall wearing mini-skirts and tube tops. Sorry, but that is just wrong and horrible! I'm also sick of lazy ass parents letting their 5 year olds run around in nothing but underware! If I had a pic of that on my computer id go to jail, but you let your 5 year old daughter runn around in panties! WRONG!
Fox News and the rest of the media is considered entertainment. They obviously pick sides and have on educated guests now and then, but they are not aiming to educate...or solve anyones problems. They are the voice of their sponsers.
@lockitkitten yes, but at no point on this show and shows like it does it have a discalimer saying 'oh, by the way, everything we talk about is total bullshit - don't take it seriously'. its considered a news program, people expect news so they see news, media illiterate people can't see the difference
@multipassifism Good point! But I have a feeling if there was a news progrom with real issues...unbiast, and raw, people might not watch it anyway. Its something of a releif to assume "baby bikinis" and the like are the worst of this worlds problems...thank goodness for independant websites i suppose. :P
I could never see a child in a sexual way. I don't care if he or she is wearing s&m gear, I just can't see them in a sexual way because I am NORMAL. The fact that these idiots say these innocent bikinis make children look "sexy" just shows how TWISTED their minds are. Children will never be looked at in a lustful way by normal people, even when they are naked. Kids acting "sexy" (bikinis, makeup, whatever) just look funny to us normal folk.
Baby bikinis are a bit creepy... I was always just in one of those swim friendly baby diapers and it was the norm - a bikini would be odd. It's just weird that people have started to cover up little kids so much in North America/ the UK when only a very small percentage of people would even have a sexual thought pass through their minds. But now that we've sort of introduced topics of sexuality with regard to babies'/toddlers', it's hard to make people comfortable no matter what you put on them.
But you could say this about anything in the news. Why are talking about football when they SHOULD be talking about global warming, why talk about drug addicts when CEREAL KILLERS are on the loose. Ignoring smaller problems in place of larger ones is not necessarily beneficial otherwise smaller problems turn in to larger ones.
@Ricky103 That wasn't the argument, so your response doesn't address it. There already is a huge problem with child trafficing, child bikinis are arguably not a problem at all and it would be a big leap to contend that proliferation of baby bikinis could spiral into a real child abuse problem.
My problem was with the argument that clearly went: why talk about this when we should be talking about this. I was not saying that baby bikinis are a problem.
Whenever I watch a Fox clip, I always think of the movie Idiocracy. It's disturbing how moronic people can be. Unless you're watching it for the laughs, you have serious neurological deficiencies.
@deathman1021 "As a medical diagnosis, pedophilia (or paedophilia) is defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 or older) typically characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger, though onset of puberty may vary)."
@mamaloney1 yeah and moron used to be a medical diagnoses as well, common use changes definitions, why do you think websters has to put out a new dictionary every so often, its not just so they can add some rediculous new word from a pop song
@Christianrocker1990 get, real, how many people would have heard about this if fox hadnt brought it to light, less than a fraction of those now aware of it, allowing for greater publicity, greater sales, and more general acceptance on the issue, meaning that they support them
@deathman1021 That's just silly. All major news corporations are guilty of reporting on the trivial issues while not focusing on the major. Might as well sar CNN, MSNBC , ABC also support pedos as well, following your logic.
Destroy Greed from within and without! Curse those who who are motivated by greed and disregard for nature. curse them and their followers. By the Demons of Jesus Christ take them into the pit of the innocent souls they have killed for a 1000 creations of 1000 universes at light speed with no time field of measurement. You will experience the agony you have inherited forever. The Earth curses you and spits you out.
@Mystery207 Finally, religious talk about the message of Jesus (or for that matter, Eastern religions and probably Mohammed). I get tired of people attaching Jesus to non-Jesus messages. For all the anger of this post, it does match the return of of Jesus more closely than a group of clowns who want bring about the end because "THEY are the chosen ones". Yeah, sure: "Here you go you spoiled little brat, you broke the Earth I gave you for Christmas - have another one?!"
I think more times than not when someone is asking the question "Is this inappropriate?" It reveals more about the one posing the question than about the object of the question.
If you look at my 3 mth old and ask me if her bikini is too sexy, guess who doesn't get to babysit and I am looking you up on the sex offender website.
Obviously there are limits to that reasoning. There are clothes like, I don't know, thongs or whatever, or some other form of clothing solely or mostly intended for sex appeal ANYONE might fing jarring on a child. When I've seen glimpses of young beauty pageant girls, like that famous one in the Madonna bra, I do ask, "isn't that a bit too sexy for a kid?" Doesn't make me a paedophile. I'm not asking because I find it sexy sexy, but because I find it gross.
@lex811117 Actually to 'just say' you have to 'say' something. You also already said something with the comment that is above right now about looking people up. Yes, be concerned about people near your children, but let's not pretend that inappropriate clothing is doing any good. Many offenders know better than to comment and out themselves. Also, many offenders have not been caught and wont be on said website.
@lex811117 If an adult wears it and it's 'sexy' why is on your child? You can make fun all you'd like, but I wish my mother had cared more about how she should not have dressed me.
Now you're clearly insinuating that, indeed, I might be a paedophile. Fuck you.
I guess it wouldn't bother you if you saw a baby wearing nipple clips or crothless panties (diapers) that said, "eat me", right? Hey, what clothing could possibly be innapropriate on a baby? There are limits, I'm just saying.
no its cute, stupid. Only pervs think that its anything sexual...yall gross

So now these people are tired of kids and trying to sexualize babies?? Not the ones who invented the baby bikini thing. The ones that are making it a controversy. They're fricken babies. They're the ones looking and thinking "babies look too sexy in that". Of course you have to blame this current media obsession with pedophilia and not the parents who are being cautious as a result. no different from any fear news stations create for viewers. But this involve disturbing exploitation of children!

@OfMalta I can kind of see your case for saying that the questions are condescending, but I don't see how they are loaded.
A loaded question would be, "There are many ways in which a person can help prevent sex exploitation of children, so why aren't you practicing any of these methods?" (This makes the assumption that the person isn't practicing any and that they could practice any if they wanted to.)

@BobChaos23 Regarding charities lying about what the money is used for....ask yourself how much of every dollar they raise should be spent on bibles and such, and how much should be spent on the issue they claim to be raising money for. You might be surprised how much of the money people donate is being spent not on what those people were donating towards, but on spreading the faith instead.
Of course, it matters not a bit so long as they tell a good story, huh?

@zippythewildone It's true.. I had to google it after watching this, and it just doesn't look "wrong" at all, it looks.. the way babies normally look. Babies are ALWAYS naked.
However they do look pretty impractical, (There's no way those tops will stay on for long, especially in the water.. I had a 2-piece before puberty - my choice - and that top came off every time I jumped in the pool) and the parents who buy them are really only serving their own desire to use their baby as a dress-up doll.

I think the media has a tendency to sugar coat what is really happening in the world to make it more favorable for viewers.

The sex slavery going on in the world has men, women and children. Its every where, even the USA! I think if half the money going to the bs war on drugs went to the real serous issue of sex slavery, it could at least make the business in the USA too much of a cost risk. I also believe those involved should be executed if found guilty. I also stand by legalizing consenting adult prostitution would lower crime, take some of their business away, lower disease and provide a tax to fight sex slavery.

This would help fight sex slavery in the USA, how could any other object could you have matter over ridding the world of this?

@LiberalViewer There is a world of difference between saying 100,000 are forcefully engaged in prostitution and pornography each year vs 100,000 are at risk. A world of difference. Especially when most cities keep no records at all of such activities. The estimates currently being used are exaggerated conflation of risk and forceful sexual abuse and slavery. Not to mention the chart in that study conflates the two. Not to mention they include children simply surfing the net.

If they explained it in a way obviously not meant to rile up over zealous christians for their own political purposes.

I'm not sure that reporting on the controversy (real or imagined) of the appropriateness of children's clothing detracts from attention that might be paid to sexual exploitation and trafficking of children. Although this video is about babies' bikinis, I think what kids wear, and how they wear it, contributes to their self-image and psychological health. I do not think that the baring of skin is inherently wrong, but perhaps parents and their children may benefit from a little more modesty.

hmm this must be an american thing because here in UK it isn't uncommon for young kids to have two piece swim suits.

When young, irresponsible puppies, people, etc. go out of bounds, they are more vulnerable.

I think there are two reasons behind what the media chooses to cover with this issue. The first is that their primary motivation is ratings; it's easy to sensationalize "baby bikinis", but an honest look at exploitation would make for depressing television and many viewers would change the channel in search for something more entertaining. The second is that they would have to acknowledge that the wars on vice exacerbate the problem, something that is too radical for corporate media.

Leaving the political bias aside, Fox news is such shallow organization.
Also am 100% sure that a lot of parents make the babys go with a just a t-shirt, who gives a fuck?.

@h2opolodan11 I don't know.I believe predators are born the way they are or at least lead a life that got them where they are.
I believe it is just tempting those who are already Sick in the end in the first place.

I'm pretty sure I've seen toddlers wear bikinis at the beach before. And they looked like that.

For some reason the whole "superficial vs. real problem" thing reminds me of the 2008 election where people were OBSESSED with Obama's skin and Hillary's tits.

Well, alot of parents do dress their kids a bit too "sexy". My rule is, if I go to jail for having a photo of them dressed like that you can't dress them like that! I have seen 5 year olds at the mall wearing mini-skirts and tube tops. Sorry, but that is just wrong and horrible! I'm also sick of lazy ass parents letting their 5 year olds run around in nothing but underware! If I had a pic of that on my computer id go to jail, but you let your 5 year old daughter runn around in panties! WRONG!

Fox News and the rest of the media is considered entertainment. They obviously pick sides and have on educated guests now and then, but they are not aiming to educate...or solve anyones problems. They are the voice of their sponsers.

@lockitkitten yes, but at no point on this show and shows like it does it have a discalimer saying 'oh, by the way, everything we talk about is total bullshit - don't take it seriously'. its considered a news program, people expect news so they see news, media illiterate people can't see the difference

@multipassifism Good point! But I have a feeling if there was a news progrom with real issues...unbiast, and raw, people might not watch it anyway. Its something of a releif to assume "baby bikinis" and the like are the worst of this worlds problems...thank goodness for independant websites i suppose. :P

I could never see a child in a sexual way. I don't care if he or she is wearing s&m gear, I just can't see them in a sexual way because I am NORMAL. The fact that these idiots say these innocent bikinis make children look "sexy" just shows how TWISTED their minds are. Children will never be looked at in a lustful way by normal people, even when they are naked. Kids acting "sexy" (bikinis, makeup, whatever) just look funny to us normal folk.

Baby bikinis are a bit creepy... I was always just in one of those swim friendly baby diapers and it was the norm - a bikini would be odd. It's just weird that people have started to cover up little kids so much in North America/ the UK when only a very small percentage of people would even have a sexual thought pass through their minds. But now that we've sort of introduced topics of sexuality with regard to babies'/toddlers', it's hard to make people comfortable no matter what you put on them.

But you could say this about anything in the news. Why are talking about football when they SHOULD be talking about global warming, why talk about drug addicts when CEREAL KILLERS are on the loose. Ignoring smaller problems in place of larger ones is not necessarily beneficial otherwise smaller problems turn in to larger ones.
Ricky103 8 months ago
@Ricky103 That wasn't the argument, so your response doesn't address it. There already is a huge problem with child trafficing, child bikinis are arguably not a problem at all and it would be a big leap to contend that proliferation of baby bikinis could spiral into a real child abuse problem.

My problem was with the argument that clearly went: why talk about this when we should be talking about this. I was not saying that baby bikinis are a problem.

Whenever I watch a Fox clip, I always think of the movie Idiocracy. It's disturbing how moronic people can be. Unless you're watching it for the laughs, you have serious neurological deficiencies.

If someone is turning a baby into a sex object, then there is something mentally unstable and wrong about them in the first place.

Fox News loves and supports pedos, otherwise they would actually cover those real child exploitation stories instead of rediculous ones like this.

@deathman1021 You mean child molesters. Being a pedophile means being attracted to children, not exploiting/abusing them.

@mamaloney1 whatever, the two have always seemed to go hand in hand in both law courts as well as the media,
deathman1021 8 months ago
@deathman1021 "As a medical diagnosis, pedophilia (or paedophilia) is defined as a psychiatric disorder in adults or late adolescents (persons age 16 or older) typically characterized by a primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children (generally age 13 years or younger, though onset of puberty may vary)."
Two different things, hence different words.
mamaloney1 8 months ago
@mamaloney1 im not talking medical diagnoses, im using the coloquial use of the word, and in the common use of the word it means the same thing
and as we all know common use can change a definition (for example fag, in briton its a cigarette in america its an insult to gay people)
deathman1021 8 months ago
@deathman1021 No, because pedophilia IS a medical diagnosis, and fag was an insult. Now fag has nothing to do with homosexuals (for the most part.)
mamaloney1 8 months ago
@mamaloney1 yeah and moron used to be a medical diagnoses as well, common use changes definitions, why do you think websters has to put out a new dictionary every so often, its not just so they can add some rediculous new word from a pop song
deathman1021 8 months ago
@deathman1021 Yeah that's why they're wanting to get rid of those baby bikini's which would turn on pedos, quit being such a damn hater.
Christianrocker1990 8 months ago
@Christianrocker1990 get, real, how many people would have heard about this if fox hadnt brought it to light, less than a fraction of those now aware of it, allowing for greater publicity, greater sales, and more general acceptance on the issue, meaning that they support them
deathman1021 8 months ago
@deathman1021 That's just silly. All major news corporations are guilty of reporting on the trivial issues while not focusing on the major. Might as well sar CNN, MSNBC , ABC also support pedos as well, following your logic.

By the Demons of Jesus Christ take them into the pit of the innocent souls they have killed for a 1000 creations of 1000 universes at light speed with no time field of measurement.

@Mystery207 Finally, religious talk about the message of Jesus (or for that matter, Eastern religions and probably Mohammed). I get tired of people attaching Jesus to non-Jesus messages. For all the anger of this post, it does match the return of of Jesus more closely than a group of clowns who want bring about the end because "THEY are the chosen ones". Yeah, sure: "Here you go you spoiled little brat, you broke the Earth I gave you for Christmas - have another one?!"

I think more times than not when someone is asking the question "Is this inappropriate?" It reveals more about the one posing the question than about the object of the question.
If you look at my 3 mth old and ask me if her bikini is too sexy, guess who doesn't get to babysit and I am looking you up on the sex offender website.

@lex811117
Obviously there are limits to that reasoning. There are clothes like, I don't know, thongs or whatever, or some other form of clothing solely or mostly intended for sex appeal ANYONE might fing jarring on a child. When I've seen glimpses of young beauty pageant girls, like that famous one in the Madonna bra, I do ask, "isn't that a bit too sexy for a kid?" Doesn't make me a paedophile. I'm not asking because I find it sexy sexy, but because I find it gross.

@ThirdRAILKink There is a saying here in the south. "A hit dog howls". I didn't say anything, I am just saying...
lex811117 8 months ago
@lex811117 Actually to 'just say' you have to 'say' something. You also already said something with the comment that is above right now about looking people up. Yes, be concerned about people near your children, but let's not pretend that inappropriate clothing is doing any good. Many offenders know better than to comment and out themselves. Also, many offenders have not been caught and wont be on said website.

@NyanBoi "but let's not pretend that inappropriate clothing is doing any good."
Can you please explain to me what is your criteria for inappropriate clothing on a 3 mth old?
Showing too much baby fat? The diaper peeking out? White diapers after labor day?
lex811117 8 months ago
@lex811117 If an adult wears it and it's 'sexy' why is on your child? You can make fun all you'd like, but I wish my mother had cared more about how she should not have dressed me.
NyanBoi 8 months ago
@lex811117
Now you're clearly insinuating that, indeed, I might be a paedophile. Fuck you.
I guess it wouldn't bother you if you saw a baby wearing nipple clips or crothless panties (diapers) that said, "eat me", right? Hey, what clothing could possibly be innapropriate on a baby? There are limits, I'm just saying.
