As my readers know, I'm not a fan of children being in beauty pageants. I've watched several episodes of Toddlers and Tiaras and quite frankly found it appalling. I have a problem with parents spray painting tans on children, making them up to look like painted dolls, and than claiming they're doing it all for the child.. Do I have stupid tattooed on my forehead? If you can find the tattoo, I'll accept that it's all being done for their daughter.
Anyway, I came across this video with Tom Hanks and his take on parents and the Toddlers and Tiaras show while watching Jimmy Kimmel. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors, so watching his take on pageants just made my day. He is brilliant in the video. Also, the little girl shown in the video is an actress, she is not Tom Hank's daughter. Hope you enjoy the video.
The Tom Hanks spoof was so funny, but at the same time made a very good point about stage moms (and dads).
