Diet book aimed at 6 year olds? Rant mode ON. Swearing? Get over it.
Submitted by pale on Wed, 08/24/2011 - 19:08.
I see so many of these kinds of horrendous things the last few years..... Or how about a G string for a little kid? A stripper pole sold as a girls toy? YUP. For real. I have never watched it, but I have read about Toddlers and Tiaras, where "moms" dress their little girls up in fishnets and full makeup. In one episode, the mother had her 2 1/2 year old wearing a gold outfit with conical bra, just like Madonna on her blonde ambition tour. I can't even talk about how they were telling her to dance. If you really need to see it, click the vid. Do have a barf bucket ready just in case. And then today I saw a new low....A book called Maggie goes on a diet. Due to be released in October. For 6 yr olds. Again I say....HOLY FUCK. Now, I realize that there are problems with childhood obesity, but yanno? It is all about lifestyle, genetics and health. If someone feels the need to write about this issue for children, it makes a lot more sense to talk about the need to eat healthy foods, and to exercise. And to get outside. Write their parents a goddamed book. One that tells how evil clowns really are. AND school lunches. But to tell little girls that dieting is the way to go, so they can fit into that tiny pink dress as is depicted on the front cover? So they won't be teased? I assume the book doesn't cover all the other reasons that mean little assholes tease their peers at school. Being Gay, being poor, being anything that isn't the "norm". HEY! Better yet, I would like to see a book aimed at 6 yr olds on how not to be a mean little asshole. Eating disorders are another terrible problem in our society. Young girls and preteens are being treated for these issues. Telling young girls that dieting is ok? I do have some knowledge of this topic BTW. I have barfed, starved, overexercised....You name it. And I started at age 12. So it pisses me off mightily to see a book written in verse for fucks sakes, telling young kids that they will be more acceptable, and they will fit in better if they are thin enough to fit into a little pink dress. And that dieting is just fine.... Add that to the push up bra for babies, the stripper pole for little girls and that fucking horrible show, Toddlers and Tiaras. Does anyone else see a fucking problem with these things. FUCK!

Sick, sick, sick...
Although, I don't think the author Paul M Kramer realizes how reckless and damaging his book might be, I do think he took to children's literature as a way to make a quick buck. Call me an elitist, but I would rather by my literature from committed artists who are aware of how powerful words can be.
Here is his brief bio:

Let's license the Parents in order to Be parents instead!
EEEEWWWWHHHH! What is WRONG with people?! Sickening, in more ways than one. @Beijing, I think you're right about the Paul-dude's book. It's a "marketing idea", as per his bio. He actually has a child apparently. How sad. Sending this to friends, Pale. Thx.
Writing....
Can't get that guy's book out of my mind. Am thinking of dropping him a little note at his "poetry (& furniture?) page". Oh, wait. I see I can write him athis Aloha self- publishing page instead re the book.
Awesome!
I tell ya, I was so mad today...Took me a while to calm down.
hehehehe.
It's a fact: 100% of all the people who ate carrots in 1850, are dead.
