AIBU to think that this image is one of the sickest ever posted and that there is something serious wrong with the parents of these children?

MNHubby would you go away and leave us alone please?

Valpollicella · 14/05/2010 23:51

Nasty and vile. Shame on the parents who let thier daughters do that.

I wouldn't have linked to it though MNH, even though it isn't a 'direct' link ie it's being hosted on imageshack.

Still keeps it 'out there'. The less times it's linked the better

TheNextMrsDepp · 14/05/2010 23:51

As mum to 2dds I can look at this objectively, but I dread to think of blokes perving over this.

SparklyGothKat then the question is why is the op linking to it.......unless she wants people to click!!

DuelingFanjo · 14/05/2010 23:53

Why has it been made into an avatar/gif?
Where exactly did you get it from?

You know what fuck you. I'm fed up with being polite. It is a sick but legal image all over the web stop being so fucking pious.

My POV is that the people who would allow their children to dress and do things like this are sick and disgusting and yet I'm the one you choose to attack. Grow up.

OP (given that you seem to be a bit of a whanger) if you want sick, go google Blue Waffle or Tubgirl.

Your link is a bit naff but no big deal (is youngish, maybe 10-11 year old girls dancing in spangly bikinis, sort of MiniPops a bit inappropriate).

Aitch · 14/05/2010 23:54

actually if you watch the whole thing on that article you can see that the girls are actually amazing wee dancers. it only goes very raunchy in the last fifteen secs or so (and no, i don't know why parents would think that appropriate) but i find it even weirder that someone would take those fifteen secs alone and put them on a loop on the internet. unlikely to be a parent, i'd have thought.

Missus84 · 14/05/2010 23:54

It's on youtube and various news websites DuelingFanjo.

Don't want to grow up OP...make me

piprabbit · 14/05/2010 23:56

I can't begin to imagine why the parents or dance instructor thought this was a good idea.

Can you imagine the day your LO comes home and shows you what they've been learning in dance class? Or when you see the first dress rehearsal? You would not have seen my DD or I for dust.

Missus84 · 14/05/2010 23:56

I don't think it's sick, just shows an amazing lack of judgement from the parents and adults involved! The girls are great dancers but some more age-appropriate costumes and song would have been better.

Valpollicella · 14/05/2010 23:57

Fuck who MNhubbie? Who is being pious? You posted in AIBU so you should know this is the place for the more forthright opinions

Nobody is attacking you really are they?

Aitch, is the whole thing part of a dancing doc or something?

toccatanfudge · 14/05/2010 23:57

Aitch - I just watched the whole thing on the news article and thought the same thing - although the outfits were for any of it.

What a shame that they couldn't have been dressed in something more age appropriate and given a dance as you say they are very good little dancers.

DuelingFanjo · 14/05/2010 23:57

ah right, seemed odd that it was a gif thingy which someone had possibly put together as an avatar.

Aitch · 14/05/2010 23:58

dunno, it just looked to me like audience footage from a comp.

MNHubbie · 14/05/2010 23:58

I've no idea who produced the gif. I have no talent in that direction. It came in my googlereader update from a site that normally just has jokes and silly images. I've removed the site from my update list and had done so before posting this.

OP posts:
Missus84 · 14/05/2010 23:58

Yeah, the gif is weird.

BAFE · 14/05/2010 23:59

"BTW not directed at everyone on the thread."

oh, just me then .

Please - just go away.

Missus84 · 15/05/2010 00:00

I wonder if they won the competition - audience seems to love it.

MNHubbie · 15/05/2010 00:00

No several people were attacking me. If they were doing so to support the image then that would make sense in an AIBU context. I've been all but accused of being a paedophile for being AGAINST this image. Perhaps you can see why that would upset me. And the sarcasm too... real classy folks.

scurryfunge · 15/05/2010 00:00

BAFE, I'm guessing the OP was trying illustrate how inappropriate it was, not getting off on it

toccatanfudge · 15/05/2010 00:01

it's on the Daily Mail website too - surprised it hadn't already been linked to!

DuelingFanjo · 15/05/2010 00:02

OK

haviing watched the whole thing from the other link I think apart from being a little ragged they are quite amazing little dancers.

It's the outfits which are wrong. If they were wearing more suitable costumes it really wouldn't be so bad.

I wasn't attacking you. Where did you get the gif from though? was it posted in that format somewhere else?
