Ummmm where have you been.......Billy Ray Cyrus is one of the most influential people in his daughter's lives. In fact I don't think I've ever even seen his wife or Miley or Noah's mothers.

In absence of that market, these things would not happen, and that market is absolutely dominated by single mothers, or mothers who have custody of their daughters.

It's not about Billy Ray Cyrus, it's about the people who purchase these things or otherwise provide the market from which to extract revenue generated by advertising.

Stop here. This should warn you of bias.
When they live in a step-family, they still live with both genders generally.
Half of those children live with their biological or original guardian parents.
The Canadian Encyclopedia in an article about Marriage and Divorce states that 1/4 families with children are headed by one parent. That's 25% not "most."
(Statistics in Western First World nations are all rough similar to each other)

This is sick for sure, but to say it is the 'Parents' fault is wrong... This is the 'Mothers' fault.
Do not blame this on Fathers, most Fathers do not have custody of their children. [edit on 3-2-2010 by factbeforefiction]

That is a very interesting and valid line of reasoning to pursue.
Does the free market corrode moral character?

But the reality is that advertising and marketing efforts are not based on what people say, but rather what people do. It is a science based on behavior, and behavior shows that they are in fact influenced, and in this case the target of the influence is the trashy woman who has the economic power to purchase this crap for her daughter.

I gave you stats and you give out aggressive emotive mysogyny.
I understand that you think this is an excellent replacement for thought.
My concern here isn't that pedophiles might be attracted to this but that 9 year old boys and nine year old girls will eventually become part of the sexual tapestry (within their peer groups) - and it will become accepted and normal - one day - there is no time limit, just "progress".
