By now, some of you may know about WebeWeb, the Florida-based Internet company that peddles suggestive photos and videos of smiling 8-year old girls doing backbends in their bikinis.
If not, you are in for a profoundly stomach-turning experience.
While most little girls go through that phase where they prance around in front of mirrors, WebeWeb’s girls are decidedly different.
Tiny asses in the air, skinny legs spread for the camera, these children have inspired thousands of adult male fans and congressional legislation, all the while raking in lots of money.
Are the girls trying to break into “honest” modeling or being seasoned for a life in porn? Should their parents be commended for their keen business sense, or prosecuted for child endangerment? Keep in mind that each model’s website offers subscriber options, fan clubs, and merchandise for sale.
Most agree that it’s twisted.
Few can agree on whether it should be outlawed.
Among those concerned are Florida Congressman Mark Foley, who initiated the Child Modeling Exploitation Prevention Act of 2002, (H.R. 756) last May. He’s also asked the Justice Department to investigate for possible criminal or civil charges.
The controversial bill has been referred to two subcommittees but has gone no further.
Meanwhile, WebeWeb is still operating.
