Nobody expects them to admit it, but MTV got into the child porn business a long time ago. Britney was either 16 or 17 when she started skanking around in music videos on the network, and that is just an obvious example.
For that matter, I have friends with kids who maintain the sitcoms produced on the Disney Channel exploit the bodies of teenage girls, throwing that Cyrus girl or the Gomez chick in tight-fitting and revealing outfits and having them parade around. We have a double standard when it comes to girls. We allow the media to objectify them and hold them up as an unattainable ideal, but we put guys in jail for touching them. The reverse scenario, however -- when a Mrs. Robinson type seduces a young boy -- is considered more acceptable, if not cool. Consider the video for the song "Stacy's Mom," for example.
