I had always hoped that people in general would understand that humans are sexual beings. Just because you are 12-14 years old doesn't mean you don't think about sex. I know I did when I was that age. How many parents actually talk to their kids about puberty and sex? Then when the schools try to, a bunch of uptight parents decide to protest. Keeping sex education, and sex itself, forbidden is a sure way to increase the rate of teen pregnancy. Kids need to develop a healthy attitude towards sex and not feel ashamed about their feelings and bodies.
Kids have lots of questions that they find embarrassing to ask their parents when it comes to sex. Parents and schools need to address these issues, not bury them under some moral outrage. Instead of parents whining about decaying morals and inappropriate products, maybe they should take some responsibility and talk to their kids about sex and puberty. Let the kids ask the tough questions and make informed opinions on what's right and wrong, rather than them getting it from their friends. Your children will then feel more comfortable discussing their feelings and issues with you, the parents. This is far better than finding out from the rumour mill your 15 year old daughter is 6 months pregnant and she didn't want to say anything out of fear of your reaction.

exactly, most of these people are just too stupid.
In my opinion most if not all adults are just a 'life size' version of children, they're just big kids, the only difference is they make money and have more rights and experience but otherwise basically the same thing.
It's like two 8 year olds, both are playing Battlefield 2 online against other players, the difference between the two is that one has playing BF2 since he was 6 and has tons of experience with the game, the other 8 year old has just been introduced to the game.
That, in my opinion is the difference between adults and children.
--- Having said that, this isn't always an apples to apples comparison as you must compare the adults to themselves when THEY were children (meaning that you don't compare an adult with an IQ 160 to a child with that of 100).
I'm done, if you disagree, flame away.

I have absolutely no problem with teaching children about sex and sexuality. By the time I was 8, I knew how it worked because my parents felt that if you were old enough to ask about it, you were old enough to know something about it.
That said, I think I would also take issue if I walked into my house one day and saw my 12 year old daughter saying "Daddy, Daddy! I'm workin the pole!"
Deep down inside... anyone probably would. I doubt that you'd break out your wallet and start throwing dollar bills.

Look, as long as my 12 year daughter says she's using this product "To just pay for college"....then I see no harm in her using it!
j/k
From the article:
Children are being encouraged to dance round a pole which is interpreted in the adult world as a phallic symbol.
