Mom to advertisers: Place your ads on my baby
LANGHORNE, Pennsylvania (AP) -- When Michele Hutchison's baby is born, she envisions more than a pure bundle of bouncing joy. She also sees a potential billboard.
The suburban Philadelphia mom-to-be is inviting advertisers to put their names on her child's clothing and baby goods, saying the ads are sure to get noticed.
"Everyone looks at babies. We're going to be out and about all the time," said Michele Hutchison, 26, whose second child is due in June.
Hutchison, a stay-at-home mother, has placed notices on the Web sites Craigslist and eBay seeking bids of at least $1,000 for the rights for one month.
She got the idea after learning of a woman who offered to have advertisements tattooed on her body. Rest of article
It's one thing to mark up your own body to make a little cash, but this is child exploitation, no different in my eyes than having your kid prostitute herself, work in a sweatshop, run drugs, etc. Your kids are not in existence to provide you with financial gain. They exist for you to love them and raise them to become productive members of society who care for themselves, their family, humankind, and the environment. Am I wrong here?
