Baby Bikinis vs Real Sexual Exploitation of Children?

I couldn't help comparing my friend lacigreen's online charity drive to fight the real sexual exploitation of children with the superficial story about the controversy over baby bikinis I saw on Fox News this week, as I show in this video.

The clip I show of Martha MacCallum teasing the baby bikini story comes from Fox News' June 17, 2011, broadcast of "America LIve and, although I have not found that teaser available online, the story it teases is available at http://video.foxnews.com/v/1000970332001/sexy-bathing-suits-for-babies/

The image I show of the details of lacigreen's June 18, 2011, charity drive comes from her page at http://lacigreen.tv/charity

The images I use of Love146's statistics on child sexual exploitation comes from its page at http://love146.org/slavery

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?

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."

Only the kind of idiots that watch Fox news would be stupid enough to think baby bikinis are sexual in nature.

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!

@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.

[Poppaconn]

Does it turn you on when the pillsbury doughboy gets his tummy touched? If so I suggest you seek out therapy...

[Poppaconn]

@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.
