Major web portals OCN and @Nifty got into trouble recently for selling ad space to Imouto Club, a web site portraying photos of girls under 15 posing in bikinis.
An article in this month's issue of Cyzo magazine discusses how common the depiction of children in sexual or semi-sexual situations is, and how most often it's the parents who push their kids to get famous this way.
"They're just after the money," says one talent agency executive. "They come here selling their kids to us because they want $1000-2000." Another source claims it's not uncommon for ordinary child actors to have had photos of them at even younger ages eating bananas in bikinis or showering with their legs wide open.
For shame, parents, for shame.
Can you really blame them though?
Which 14 year old girl doesn't want to be the next Saaya Irie?
