Agreed, look how many girls in Japan right up into their twenties, do the Hello Kitty or Sailor Moon, shtick.

the Chinese girl is wearing a bra--clearly not too "little" a girl.

I took a look at the Disney Store website--there are no undergarments on there for big or little girl, other than sleepwear and sleep camis.

I've never seen kiddie porn in my life, so I have no idea how it looks. However, given the number of 9-12 year old girls in China, compared to the number of paedophiles, I still think that a photo of a little girl in (IMO) unrevealing children's underwear should not be shocking.

I assume you mean the Miley Cyrus photo. I have seen it. It's not nearly as "bad" as the one in the slate article, but still inappropriate.

I've now looked it up just so I can have my own opinion. I think it's all a storm in a teacup, but I can understand why Disney feel it is a sexual image and therefore inappropriate. I can't see any comparison between this and the Chinese billboard. The two different issues are about men who are only sexually excited by children compared to men who might find a more womanly image of an underage girl attractive.

I have a school photo of my class when I was 12. I was away from school on photo day, but from looking at the picture - and from memory - I would have made it three girls not wearing (needing) a bra had I been there.

No doubt, many of you will think I'm lieing, but neither have I, actually.

Little girls wear bikinis too. I guess that looks more bra-shaped than the usual trainer/pretend bras, but no more so than little mermaid costumes for example.

It's all a storm in a teacup though, really. Disney's about as clean as Kwame Kilpatrick. They just have more muscle.

that Chinese girl isnt that young. Not that I really care either way. Disney has been on a steady downhill in their programing for years. I still like their Pixar/Disney movies, but as a whole, the entire empire of Disney is on a steady downhill.

Disney is the anti-christ. No, Wal-mart is the anti-christ. OK, they're co-anti-christs.

I agree. I blame Disney and their anthropomorphization of mice and dogs for the creation of groups like PETA.

Shawnee123 · 05-01-2008, 09:43 AM

yeah, but they really fucked up on the duck. Daffy was wayyyyyyy better. Warner Bros rule! Except for their cable company. Which is also the anti-christ.

Someone give me a punchline to this joke:

How many anti-christs does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

None. Hillary prefers to call it "change" a lightbulb.

Well, they're trying to sell it off.

Although I agree that it's sort of hypocritical to advertise Disney underwear on an underage model in Asia and then condemn Miley Cyrus' pictures.... it seems to me that the problem is that Miley's conduct insinuates some personal choices, while the model was hired to do a particular job.

I guess I'd have to say that I agree with monster... if she's wearing what she would at a public beach, it can't <i>really</i> be considered lewd. Now <i>what</i>, exactly, a girl her age wears to the beach is a matter left to her parents' discretion....

I think the only thing that concerns Disney, is how each incident is perceived by the target audience and effects their bottom line. They'd probably have both those girls, spread eagle naked, if that's what the public demanded for their money.
