Dirty Dancing... Cute? Wrong?

The idea of a hypersexualized youth culture has made headlines in various national newspapers, though the term "hypersexual" is fairly modern.
I can't believe when I come accross videos (like the one I will link below) or the "Single Ladies" videos. Parents actually allow this? Parents laugh at this? This is your child dressing inappropriately, dancing too sexual.
These girls are ONLY seven. That's first/second grade.

Maybe I'm just an uptight, educator.

DH saw me looking at this clip and I cannot even tell you what comments he had about parents that would think this is cute! This is way too sad.

i'm not gonna watch the video because it'll just make me upset.
but this thread reminds me of how ANGRY i got, and how i had *just a few words* for my stepbrother a few years back when he was helping his daughter - she was about three at the time - learn the words to that Britney Spears "I'm A Slave For U" song. so she could sing it at karaoke. dude was in his 30's, he should've known better!
i'll admit, when i was 3 years old, i was listening to music that most people wouldn't consider appropriate for a little munchkin (Kiss & Conway Twitty, as two examples) and i have a very distinct memory of one day, after kindergarten, coming home and listening to a Prince record and then a Strawberry Shortcake record. all by myself in my room, and loving them both. so, er, i know i don't really have the right to pass judgements, but c'mon! teaching a toddler to bootydance while singing skank songs (i like Britney, don't get me wrong, but all her songs are about sex. just like Conway Twitty, and i like him, too) and thinking it is the funniest thing you've ever seen? that ain't right. much less filming it and putting it on the internet?
