AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Oh, Screengrab , how we love your lists…In honor of Jessica Alba’s newest flick, The Eye , Screengrab

*shudder* That's brutal. So creepy.

The wording of the ad on the left is particularly horrible: 'Just because she has the body, doesn't mean she has the brain'? Yikes. 'Maturity' or 'Life experience' might have been  better word choices -- 'brain' makes the poor girl sound simple.

The really sad this about this is that it doesn't target the actual causes of pedophilia. Pedophiles go after children because they find the absence of adult traits non-threatening.

This just disturbs the rest of us. We are programmed to be attracted to nice breasts. This is just awful.

If anything it's pedophile training material.

Yeah, this really missed the target in a disturbing way. Pedophiles aren't confused about Children being young. They LIKE it that they're young. That's what make them pedophiles. They aren't just sitting around thinking "I wish I could get a 30 year old, but this 12 year old will have to do."

Of course, this PSA has nothing to do with pedophiles. The point is to scare people away from statutory rape by telling you that just because the female in question LOOKS old enough to have sex that doesn't mean that she IS old enough.

In any case, it's an awful ad. Not only do they demean teenagers (who are usually the people involved in statutory rape cases) by implying that they're stupid, but by using exaggerated photoshopped images of a 6-year-old's head on a 30-year-old's body you end up with something that seems to fall into the 'uncanny valley'. (en.wikipedia.org/.../Uncanny_valley) Thus, disturbing everyone and teaching no one.

What a waste of money.

Caitlin, you make a good point, but maturity and life experience don't start with the letter b, so you would lose the body/brain alliteration.
