POSTED May 3, 7:31 AM

I recently saw the most disturbing television commercial ever. It is for a fast food/ice cream kind of place, a National chain that's been around for decades, and it is extra creepy. The ad involves a scenario wherein a mother and daughter approach the counter to order. The daughter, a gorgeous child of about five or six, coquettishly locks eyes with a little boy. She tosses her hair, she winks, she smiles seductively. At this point, all I can think about is JonBenet Ramsey and the possibility that sick pedophiles everywhere are rationalizing their evildoings because of imagery like this.

So anyway, this girl- this child- tells her mother not to bother getting her ice cream; "Just get one", she says with a knowing smirk. A moment later, the waiter brings a sundae to the little girl, compliments of the young boy. The girl flutters her fingers and bats her eyelashes at him, and turns to her mom and says, "It's like shooting fish in a barrel".

Start 'em young. Yikes.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, so please get in touch. If you have a question, comment or suggestion, please add here or e-mail me at beautyexaminer@gmail.com.
