If I scare up the names and email addresses of the primary advertisers for this show along with writing a couple of form letters/emails or suggestions of points why this show exploits kids would anyone here been interested in emailing the advertisers with me to tell them why their advertising on this travesty is likely to stop you from purchasing their products?

No. I hate it when the religious right tries this tactic and feel if you don't like it,don't watch it! You can't stop what parents do with their own children,as long as there is no abuse and they are well cared for.What you and I loathe makes other people happy. I cannot condone this kind of protest,since it tries to force my opinion on a legal form of entertainment. Furthermore,it encourages right wingers to smother any and all "grown-up" shows we might like.
Is this show tacky? Oh,yes it is ,IMO. I hate to see it,which is why I will not. The best way to get companies not to sponser a show is low ratings.

It should be illegal, has nothing to do with the religious right.

See, they always show the extreme cases in pageants. It is ridiculous. There ARE benetfits of competing, like poise, good manners, public speaking skills. I am in the process of writing my book about the entire world of pageants since I was a queen and then my daughter did them. I looked on Amazon.com and there really are no books out there that describe the true world of that subculture. The only ones I saw were books with advice on how to win pageants. Oh.......the stories I can tell.........they will be in writing, I really hope it gets published, I think there would be an interest in the book since society is fascinated (some in a good way and some in a disgusting way) by that little subculture.

I am ashamed to say that I might watch this!

Oh, im pretty sure the heiffer stage mothers, pimped out prostitots and miserable children are pretty real.

and really, poise, good manners and speaking skills? Sure, pageant versions of that might be applicable in the following industries:

On what grounds should it be illegal as opposed to any other activity for children?

Makeup? Shut down dance and theater for children. This would also go for the routines that are performed.

Coaches and practicing? Oops, there goes all sports activity!

Clothing choices? Better police the school, shopping malls, and all dance competitions.

Photoshopped photos? Do you really think this physically harms anyone? Take all those magazines off the shelves with their airbrushed pics of celebrities.

A few crazy over the top parents? Better make all children wards of the state and not allow any type of activities until they are 18.

Grimm.....in these crazy prostitot pageants there is nothing good, however, if the child is old enough to make their own choices (like my daughter), there is good things that come out of competition like the poise and public speaking. It's up to the PARENTS to make good choices and guide the kids (and it's hard to find decent parents with good judgment in pageants). In our case it worked to our advantage, but the stories I could tell.............well..........lets just say the book I am working on will be an eye opener.
