Dairy Queen - Stop Exploiting Children for Profits!
Target:
Everyone who cares about the well-being of young children
Sponsored by:
The Diary Queen Corporation has just started a new television ad which encourages adults to see young children as sexually seductive. In this commercial, a young girl (about age 8) decides to intentionally flirt with, and seduce a young boy (about the same age) into buying her a sundae (in the same manner that a man would buy a drink for a romantic interest at a singles bar.) Once the little girl has won the sundae (compliments of the smitten boy) via making "goo goo" eyes at him, she then turns to her mother and says, precociously, "It's just like shooting fish in a barrel." In this commercial Dairy Queen cynically seeks to exploit and sexualize young children, in order to sell ice cream.
Dairy Queen seems to have no awareness, or no concern, that our society increasingly sexualizes young children. One only need consider children's increasing preference for seductive dress, the increasing incidence of pre-teenage anorexia, and body distortion problems, and events like the Joan Benet-Ramsey case to get a sense that our children's innocence is under attack. Sexualizing children not only puts unhealthy pressure on them and compromises the quality and joy of their childhood, but it also arouses the pruriant interest of pedophiles. Such messages suggest that "permission" is given, and that children welcome sexual encounters.
Every day, I work helping adults to heal from effects and trauma of childhood sexual abuse. Such work is difficult, and those folks who do commit themselves towards personal healing are taking heroic measures to reclaim their lives. Unfortunately, a large percentage of survivors and victims never do get around such healing, and so their scars from childhood sexual abuse continue to make their lives more difficult.
Our children and our society really do not need television commercials (like those created for, and aired by, Dairy Queen) suggesting that children are ready to use their sexuality as leverage to get what they desire in life - things like hot fudge sundaes.
Please send a message to Dairy Queen that we demand wholesome advertising from them, and not exploitative advertising which promotes sexual abuses of children, as well as other mental health problems. You can also email Diary Queen from their web-site.

We the undersigned support the right of all children to have happy, innocent, playful, and wholesome childhoods. We believe that it is every child's right to grow up whole, safe, protected, and free from exploitation and sexual abuse.
We further believe that the most recent Dairy Queen television ad promotes seeing young children as sexual objects. This puts unhealthy pressure on children (especially young girls) to become prematurely sexualized, and leads to both unhealthy behaviors (including anorexia, and body distortion problems) and other distortions in emotional development.
This most recent Dairy Queen ad (and messages like it) promote adult perceptions of children as "sexual beings," ready to trade on their sexuality to gain favors (such as hot fudge sundaes). Such messages, in turn, facilitates pedophilic thinking, and pedophilic activities, which harm our children.
We ask that Dairy Queen withdraw its exploitative ad from the airwaves, and that it promote the sale of its products through wholesome images which celebrate life, happy childhoods, and wholesome, life-affirming values. We strongly request that Dairy Queen refrain from associating its product with precocious sexuality, and stop using children's sexuality to sell it's products.
We support children's rights to be children, and to lead happy lives, without pressure to become prematurely sexual.
Those of us who support television commercials which do not lend themselves toward support of pedophilic obsessions (which may lead to abusive actions), please let Dairy Queen know of your concerns.
Dairy Queen can reached through their website. Please send them email to let them know that we want their commercials to be pro-child, pro-innocence, and wholesome.
Thankyou,

Our culture is already overly sexualized and if people continue to make commercials and ad's, seemingly without a conscious, that sexualize everything in sight we are not going to see any improvement in the mental health of our children.

I wish my mother Emily Ann Parry of Bellport, N.Y. was against pedophiles instead of marrying one named Charles Martin Parry. Emily Ann Parry is a very sick and twisted Drug Addict(addicted to Excedrin)who needs extensive therapy. I pray that she gets the help she needs! Mother's like her are very cold, calculated, manipulative and back-stabbing.~~~~~~~Sincerely & Respectfully, Ms. Victoria Mary Stong(a FOREVER alcohol-free, smoke-free & drug-free woman!)/ Humanitarian, 9/11 Family Member, Former Volunteer 1st Responder & Ground Zero Worker, F.D.N.Y.

YOU GOT IT................HER PEDOPHILE HUSBAND OVER HER 16 YEAR OLD CHILD! I REPORTED HIM AT 14 YEARS OLD INITIALLY. ADDING INSULT TO INJURY, SHE HAS SUCCEEDED TURNING MY VILLAGE OF BELLPORT AGAINST ME. EVEN WHEN I WAS A VICTIM OF A CRIME 5/20-21/1982, SHE HAD THE "HONEST"(LIARS BIGTIME)NEWSPAPER "THE LONG ISLAND ADVANCE" LIE ABOUT ME TO SAVE HER "REPUTATION AND IMAGE" SO SHE WOULDN'T LOSE HER JOB AT BELLPORT HIGH SCHOOL. IF THE COMMUNITY ONLY KNEW! SHE CONVINCED ME NOT TO PUT MY FULL NAME IN THE NEWSPAPER BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE WAS AT FAULT FOR PUTTING ME IN A BAD SITUATION THAT I BECAME A VICTIM OF A FELONY FOR. IF BELLPORT ONLY KNEW THE TRUTH, THEY WOULDN'T BE SO MEAN-SPIRITED AND DISRESPECTFUL TO ME. EMILY ANN PARRY, MY BIOLOGICAL MOTHER HAS DESTROYED ANY NICE RELATIONSHIPS I WORKED ON IN BELLPORT NEW YORK. IT'S HARD ENOUGH BEING VICTIMIZED AS A CHILD...................BUT ALL THE SEVERE DAMAGE SHE HAS DONE TO ME ALL MY LIFE IS UNBEARABLE!

Yes, I've seen that commercial. I did think it was inappropriate for a child of about that age to be even thinking like that.

I know the ad was not intentionally aimed to cause children to be sexualized, but DQ should take note that the community is concerned about this important issue and advise their advertising agencies accordingly.

This kind of marketing is tactless where's the ethics and human decency at? it's suggestive to children that shouldn't have to be put into the position of having to decide something that is a powerful personal choice - sexuality/flirtaion in effect of getting something or giving something- and if so when so young causes confusion and takes away a child's self power: to decide for themselves how to go about such things when they reach such an age of haveing a mature discerning mind.

i was really disgusted by this commercial. As the mother of two young girls it sickened me to see the cavalier, gold digging attitude of the young actor in the ad. Must Dairy Queen succumb to sexualizing ice cream!

I have'nt seen this commercial yet,and hopefully it is removed before I do. Unfortunately in our society everything has become "not a big deal",so for those of us who do care and want to raise our kids in a safe environment, are only option becomes shutting ourselves away from the rest of the world. I ran into this site while trying to order a cake for my sons birthday, I'm glad I have'nt yet ordered.

I'm unclear as to whom this ad is meant to appeal... I find it atrocious. Using over-sexed children instead of more wholesome characters sends the wrong messages, period. It's a huge step in the wrong direction.

My husband and I first saw this commercial together one evening, at first I was thinking, mmm, Dairy Queen, at the end of it I sat jaw dropped. My husband said what I was thinking "that's horrible!" We are NOT "prudish people", we like all kinds of humor, he's an exec for an advertising agency, but sex and kids don't mix, period. we used to go to DQ, we WON'T be back unless they make changes in their advertising.

Children are innocent until the media and the world has to show them other things that they don't need to be exposed to until they are of age. The society is at fault along with parents saying this is ok, but it's not and I'm taking a stand saying let the children be childen while they can and let them enjoy the innocence of a child without pressures from the outside, parents, and peers. Our children grow up too fast already, I'm a mother to 6 and grandmother to 6 and it just seems like yesterday my oldest was just a baby, they grown yes, but we push them into adulthood before needed, let's stop this and let children be children, and keep the sex behind closed doors, with marriage where it belongs. Thank you.

Not only is this commercial offensive for sexualizing children, but for perpetuating gender role stereotypes that depict women as manipulative leeches through use of their sexuality. Ugh. Sad, perverted, and regressive.
