Is it exploitative to dress babies up in this manner and gawk at them for our entertainment?

Women who are the motherly (or grandmotherly) type think it is cute.

That's all right: the babies will get their revenge when they become teenagers.
I heard the following on a Wilkes-Barre radio station (WPMT The Mountain):

Teenagers are God's punishment for enjoying sex.

Wow, you guys have nothing better to do with your time but complain about a freaking baby parade. Get out of your parents basement and get a life.

The baby parade lasted less than 20 minutes, how can that harm a child? Did you go to the parade? Did you see how much fun the children were having waving their flags and being cooed over by the audience? It isn't like the prizes given away were bad either, savings bonds are great for kids!! You want to be upset about something? Be upset that there wasn't a picture of the grand prize winner in the paper! That is upsetting to me.

Get over yourselves and get used to it.

1) If you don't this event...don't participate.

2) Unfortunately, the monopoly print media thinks that this event is news disregarding the important events of the day and the effort that it might take to go out, ask questions, seek truth, and report real news. Since you have no other options, you will just have to get used to this and look for your "news" elsewhere.

I can see this as a legit question.

But that being said, this is probably something for the parents and grandparents to do.
