    3. How HARD is that to comprehend?
    That book was an art book intended for a very specific market. Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga et al target preteens and teens in a cynical attempt to make,as much money as possible, much of it through merchandising. Why you would even want to defend that is beyond me. Don't you think they should be role models and not teaching young girls, that to get on, you need to dress like a hooker?

    hahahahahaha .... I won't be telling the Capitalists, the Entrepreneurs, the Cultural Icons how to conduct themselves.

    MY comment, do you understand the words coming out of my mouth, MY comment ... is about the person complaining. Do. you. understand. that. ?

    You can't target a specific age group/gender unless they want to be targeted. Plus, mom and dad have control over their pre teens buying power when it comes to merchandise and concert tickets, right, so don't blame Beyonce for the preteens who adore her. Blame the parents who have no issues with it if you feel you need to blame someone.

    I notice no male entertainers are being spoken of. Is half naked the only kind of bad influence entertainers have on kids?

    Take it up with Ms. Greer. No doubt you are unaware of the trend to target preteens with adult clothing and makeup as well.

    I am not unaware of it but, as I said, you can't be targeted unless you want to be. Barbie is targeted for every little girl ever but I raised my two without ever buying them a Barbie because I don't particularly care for Barbie and all the bs associated with her. They survived their childhood Barbieless.

    It can be done if parents want to do it.

    Or, maybe he/she is in the business of profiting from marketing to kids? There's nothing inherently wrong with it, Tom.

    Well obviously many parents don't do that and pander to their little horrors every whim and fancy. Then they are surprised that they become totally self centred adults.

    Am I supposed to read everything you post? I posted a single video, not a thread. You are an extraordinarily shallow person.
    If you think I plagiarized you, take it up with the mods.

    Is it time for you to call me a cunt?

    You're entitled.

    The fact is that what Beyonce' and other youth marketers do is legal, as far as I know.
