I was away but now I’m back with a vengeance.
Seems that a lot has happened while was taking a break from blogging. Anyone read the article in the Daily Mail (UK) about a company who had the brilliant idea that the children of today was not being exposed enough raunchy, sexual material and that a pole dancing kit targeting children ages 4-6 would be the answer to everyone’s problem. Sure… buy that 4 year old daughter of yours a tiger skinned string bikini and have her practice her pole dancing in the middle of the living room. What a perfect family oriented Christmas gift. What’s even more disturbing is that Tesco, Britain’s leading department store agreed to carry the item in its children’s section and advertised it in the following way
The Tesco Direct site advertises the kit with the words, “Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.
The £49.97 kit comprises a chrome pole extendible to 8ft 6ins, a ‘sexy dance garter’ and a DVD demonstrating suggestive dance moves.
Sound politically incorrect. But not necessary the worst idea when you compare that with other toys. Like guns, bazookas and Mortal combat.
But I’m totally against this idea! Pole dance should not degrade in to a kids dance. That is our entertainment! Give men a break! Save pole dance for good. I don’t want to sit in the bar thinking ‘my daughter can dance better than this!’.
And then you come home and find your 4 year old son playing with the toy pole! Bad Bad idea!
Argh, I am a 25 year old learning pole dancing for fitness, I doubt very much that fitness is what they had in mind when making this product. It’s purely to make money. I feel sick…!
