And the Award for Parents of the Year Goes to . . .
. . . the stage parents who allowed their young kids to be cast in this “rendition” of a scene from “Scarface,” complete with constant use of the word, “fudge,” as in “mother-fudger” and “fudge you,” as well as machine guns and murder. Although it’s NOT a school play as labeled (that part is a hoax), the kids were cast in this video by Mark Klasfeld and Rockhard Films, who made Lady Gaga’s “Pokerface” video. (Get an original idea, Mark. It’s been done already, in a much more classy way, via 1976’s “Bugsy Malone.”)
But it really doesn’t matter that it’s not a school play, nor that it was staged for money via a casting call and Hollywood agents. These kids can’t be more than eight, nine, or ten years old. Just terrif that they’re being introduced–and desensitized–to this crap at such a young age. It’s hardly the same thing as playing cops and robbers with toy guns. Not even close. Whether or not the kids are “professional actors” is a distinction without a difference.
Say hello to my leetle child abuse. . .
Hey, maybe next, these young ingenues can do “Last Tango in Paris” or “Showgirls.” I mean, it’s only a play, and the kids are professional actors . . . right? What could possibly be the harm?
Even Tony Montana doesn’t approve.
Please Make It Stop

Hey Debbie–at least they aren’t wearing camouflage fatigues strapped with “fake” suicide bomb belts and emulating their heroes.
I can still picture those images from hamas/fatah rallies. (My personal favorites are the ones taht show a child holding an actual firearm.)
