A Cry in the Dark

Sunday afternoon surfing....

I know better than to participate in this activity. Every once in a while, though, I need to have a reminder on why Sunday afternoon TV is so awful!

I'm watching this show called Tiara Girls. While I understand the whole appeal of reality television, what I'm seeing is just horrifying! This episode is about a 16 year old girl in Michigan. The first ten minutes of this show has been about her mother picking apart every detail of her looks. Her lips are too small when she smiles. Her waist is too big. "Skinny girls don't eat donuts." And is there any wonder that this young lady has self-image issues?

This young lady is BEAUTIFUL! I can't believe the pressure her mother and pageant coach are putting on her. Her mother just said how disappointed she is that the daughter refused liposuction. Puh-lease!

OK. I have to change the channel now..... This just has my stomach churning!
