He's admitting. Both parents try and claim that from their perspective it wasn't sexualized or a stupid idea, but they never try and provide a defense for how it looks objectively.

Aside from blaming the Chipettes (which I'm all for), the parents put all the blame on the 8 year-old girls. Those girls didn't design and make the stripper uniforms, and even if they did, as parents its their job to say no. If there was a parenting exam, saying "Well its in the media, and she wanted it, so really I did nothing wrong it getting it for her" should be an automatic fail.

You guys are just idiots. When they wear their suits to school, and it's just dance moves that you don't understand. Sluts is a part of their sport.

Remember when the preview to that catastrophe was first posted and people said "nothing good will come of this"?

Yeah, that continues to be true.

The Empty Eye of Ra looks with the void upon the children and grows turgid, He Who Self Progenates shall take vengeance upon the parents.

Well there's the Darwin Awards. We can hope they join that show soon.

I don't think an argument can be made that these kids won't breed

I volunteer to sit across from you in a suit and nod, thoughtfully, in approval.

Turns out there are more efficient ways of introducing music to people who can't be trusted with it.

Hmmm... You may have been reading MY comment, but if so, you/ve been reading it wrong.

Let us proceed from the assumption that this is not intended as a sex show. There's no doubt that dancers view this sort of thing differently than nondancers. That doesn't make it "all right", but it's not parents pimping out their kids, and it's not child pornography. It's a major breech of taste... but It's a breech of taste, nothing more.

These parents probably think they're here to defend their children, not themselves, and in doing so, they're taking most of the criticism when they had the least to do with it. If this is like most dance schools, they probably drove their kids to the classes, and paid for the classes, but they probably didn't actually see the routine until it was all worked out, and THEN what are they supposed to do? Tell their little girl she's acting like a slut and pull her out of something she's justifiably proud of?

The teacher/choreographer was the one who fucked this up. That's the person who should be on TV, taking the heat instead of the kids and the parents, admitting to an innocent mistake, but unfortunately, that's the person who's got the most to lose in the atmosphere of hysteria that this has taken on.

I wasn't referring to your comment exclusively, but to the comments on Youtube. I was just commenting on how people interpreted this routine.
