'She's looking a little grown-up for a three-year-old' - try saying that without vomiting blood.

Fear. Fear! Fear about wrinkles. You're getting old! And look, the bloody Poles are procreating! The selfish bastards, having children which are just a strain on the NHS and schools rather than paying for the vast pension pot of an ageing population who... er, read the Daily Mail and have wrinkles. But there's a picture of Kate & Gerry to lighten the mood. Some new bollocks theory about what someone might have thought a few months ago but isn't sure about now. Who did they sell her to? Darkies probably! Coming over to steal our babies! But not the Polish ones, obviously.
Something implying that darkies took the blonde child? Check. Some lies about immigration statistics? Check. A wilfully ignorant front-page rant that a child of five could dismantle? Check. A free DVD that no-one wants? Check. A picture of a pre-pubescent boy from the same newspaper that would vilify paedophiles? Check. A bit of poppy fascism? Check. JACKPOT!
...says no-one, ever. But that doesn't mean you can't say that in a headline, obviously

Disturbing sentence of the week - trying saying without hearing a Harry Hill style jingle.
This couldn't be the same Daily Mail that I'm sure I remember running a full-page PAEDOPHILE DANGER!!!!!! piece opposite a picture of a still-very-much-underage Charlotte Church bursting out of her top with a caption along the lines of "What a big girl our Char's become!", could it? Surely not.
http://www.heelarious.com/kate.php These are been worn by babies in my town - and it isn't an "ironic" or "comic" statement - not unless the leopard print leggings on the 6 month old baby were also "ironic" - I stay indoors a lot nowadays and the nearest I get to national newspapers is your blog...
I failed. Could you do something about the blood on my keyboard please?
It is quite disturbing. Not just the sentence but the all encompassing fascination they have with the girl.
So what if she's wearing bloody heels, all toddler girls try out their mother's shoes for a while. And often mother's get annoyed with little girls "nicking" their shoes, so they buy mini-heels for them so they can be like mummy.
It does not mean they grow up any faster or turn out to be whores.
After the toddler phase and my own flamenco shoe phase, i turned into a tomboy, rejecting any girly things...people change, including toddlers.
Peter, I think you mean the Daily Star: http://enemiesofreason.blogspot.com/2008/04/this-may-never-be-beaten.html
god, that's just awful. why are they so obsessed with suri cruise? she's three year's old. let her live her life and enjoy being a toddler. the mail constantly criticise how "children aren't allowed to be children anymore" because of the national curriculum - yet they refuse to let celebrity children get on with their childhoods. ugh ugh ugh
I failed, and brought a lot of bile up as well.
Kids like dressing up. It's what kids do (unless they happen to be my Autistic son who is terrified of masks and costumes, yep we have fun at Hallowe'en I tell ya). They like to imitate their parents, disney princesses, cartoon characters etc and shops cater to that. My youngest daughter goes out dressed as a cat every chance she can get. Other days she goes out as a princess and that includes matching dressing up tiny heeled shoes.
If i were Katie Holmes, I'd deck the next pap, erase the pics and be damned with the consequences. But that's just me.
I thought there were laws about photgraphing children; Kate Moss's daughter is never photographed and neither were the Princes William and Harry.
