I heard a radio commercial this morning for Premier Child Starlets, a company in LA. It was searching for young girls, ages 6-11, to model for the purposes of attracting men. Grown men. Dirty Perverted Grown Men.
"Could your ten-year-old pass as a fifteen-year-old with a little make-up?" it asked. By law, a fifteen-year-old is still illegal. Ask R. Kelly.
"We know the difference between plain big lips and sensous lips that could bring a man to his knees," he continued. What? What kind of sick company wants to market six-year-olds as sex symbols for men?
The radio ad continued to ask that mothers let their babies be sexy (I can't remember the exact terminology.)
I listened to the entire ad waiting for the punchline, but it turns out I can be wrong. I wrote down the name and number (why I'm still not sure.) I googled the company name used in the ad and found nothing. I looked up the phone number only to find out it is unlisted. What is going on here?
I don't have the guts to call the number because I don't want to get on some government list of people who sell children into child pornography. I can't believe this company(?) would air an ad that shady to the mainstream public. I found the ad offensive and I love condom commercials, so I'm not a weak-stomached or morally righteous person.
I'm thinking about writing the radio station and questioning them on why they played the ad.

Send me the number, I'll call it.
Are you sure it was not from some Morning Show Stupidity?
I actually was IN Athens and thought about ya. My best friend lives there and my wife and I had pizza with her at Little Italy...nothing like beer from a plastic pitcher!
Plus, my wife bought a bunch of crap from Junkman's.
I wish I would have had a way to contact you. That would have been crazy to actually meet a blogger buddy.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. Let VG call it and let us know what's going on. Inquiring minds, and all that.
that is both interesting and perverse. thank you.
I heard the ad again today. Some listeners did complain but the radio station couldn't say much on the air considering it was a sponsor.
Apparently I forgot some things in the ad. It asked mothers to send pictures of their children "dripping wet by the pool" and "all sexy and ready for a night out on the town with Daddy."
The terminology I couldn't ready was, "Mothers do the right thing and let your children be as hot and sexy as she can be."
The company is Premier Child Starlets and the phone number is (213)486-7499. Good luck!
Damn you! I love Little Italy! Do you mean there are other ways drink beer than from plastic pitchers?
I'll call the number tomorrow and let you know what I hear.
Sorry 'bout Little Italy. I once drank beer from a glass pitcher...crazy.
