Good Article

So here I am at work bored out of my mind...pretty much every one is in a meeting so it's really quiet but there isn't much work to do...so I was crusin around the internet and ran into a great article on the Newsweek Magazine website here is the link: http://www.newsweek.com/id/162792/page/1

Basically the article talks about how our culture has taken on themes that are usually found in porn. Think about it, commercials, music, tv, movies even children's toys have become hyper-sexualized. Take for instance, in the article it mentions Bratz Dolls. These dolls are wearing short skirts, midrifs, heels and tons of makeup. They have big pouty lips and exzagerated curves, and these are for young girls...these dolls make Barbie look like a nun.

At least Barbie has careers, she had a family, these dolls are minature porn stars! And it just isn't these dolls. It's every where. I was recently at a Halloween store with my husband. While walking down what I thought were adult costumes, I took a closer look only to discover that the nurse, french maid and school girl costumes were not for adults but for girls ages 10-13. I compared them to the adult costumes to find that there was little to no difference in the desgin!

Anywho, its a really good article and you should read it!
