Agree, Slapfish!

If that is "pathology" then any parent who has entered their child in such pageants is to be considered "dangerous" or prone to abuse or murder their children.

While I have no use for the entire child pageant deal...it's really no different than many sports children participate in. Take a trip to a kid hockey game...you'll find many are just as exploitive. Are they all thought to be murderers and abusers?
