New Show on TLC not cool at all Winnipeg

Winnipeggers, I am asking for you to boycott. I was disgusted the other night while watching the cable network TLC. Every Friday night my wife enjoys watching "What Not To Wear" while I strum at the guitar, but the music stopped when an ad for their newest show aired.

"Toddlers and Tiaras" - a reality show behind the scenes of child beauty pageants. When is the world going to clue into how utterly disgusting it is to put young girls through this? Child and Family Services should lock these mothers away. I'm sorry if you grew up ugly or if you finished fourth at the Holeintheground, Alabama Beauty Pageant - but to teach your daughters the importance of vanity!?

Being in a beauty pageant once your in your late teens, early 20's...okay, no problem. There's vanity in all us. I know I look good. Not to mention, my wife and I were watching "What Not To Wear." My issue is not the idea of beauty pageants, its the horror of children in beauty pageants.

Without saying it...we all know which members of society are most excited about the pilot episode. Please Winnipeggers, email the station and complain, or at the very least, turn the channel.
