"Prosti-tots".....whoa.

Dude... I know I was kinda out of it last winter.... but have you read these stats?

From last Feb:

"In a recent Newsweek Poll, 77 percent of respondents say young women celebrities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan have too much influence on young girls. Eighty-four percent of those polled say sexuality plays a bigger role in American popular culture than it did 20 or 30 years ago and 70 percent say this is more of a bad influence on young people today than a good influence. In the February 12 Newsweek cover, "The Girls Gone Wild Effect," (on newsstands Monday, February 5), Deveny and Kelley examine whether there really are harmful long-term effects of overexposure to Paris Hilton and whether we are raising a generation of what one L.A. mom calls "prosti-tots," young girls who dress like tarts, live for Dolce & Gabbana purses and can neither spell nor define such words as "adequate."

Ugh. I have a sinking feeling in my stomach. What exactly happens to a young girl when she thinks that how she dresses and the attention she's getting from guys and the pictures that are being taken of her is absolutely the most important thing?
