Gender roles much?

Ahimsa   02.05.08

Doesn't matter what gender they are, those kids look spoiled.

Cond   02.05.08

DO THESE PARENTS NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL WHATSOEVER OVER THEIR CHILDREN?

Yow.

It's called consumerism

it's art

I think those kids have wayyyy to many toys.

Jemono   02.05.08

Any room would look full of toys when you laid them all out like that. You would be amazed at how fast a kids room can fill up with stuff. Almost as fast as my shoe closet. :D

...that last one has paul frank sheets. wtf.

gg.   02.05.08

this isn't art

ick   02.05.08

Hello people if you look the room isn't messy nor is it excessive really its just the arrangement of the picture, which is trying to capture the hues within the picture. Its just a nifty picture story

does that mean that I'm a lesbian? I had a lot of blue toys when I was a kid.

Superman is throwing up the horns. That kid is so metal.

These kids dont have too much stuff.. you had just as much when you were a kid! don't shout blame.. no one is complaining. Like someone else posted... when you lay it all out- it looks like this. try laying out all your stuff and see just how much space it takes up. Whether it is blue, pink.. whatever. my favorite color is blue! I buy blue things.. clothes, and anything else. Do none of you have children? If you do one day.. you will see.

mom   02.05.08

These kids are f**d and the people that produced them are also... And that's why the world is so f***d too...

Struth   02.05.08

u wouldnt happen to have the favorite color black would u?

haha   02.05.08

How can you say these children are spoiled? Have you met them? Do you know them? I would like to see you lay all your things out like the artist has done with these kids things, and tell me it doesn't take up just as much space. If I laid out all the purple things I have, it would probably take up twice as much room, and I can tell you, I don't have /that/ much stuff. It just happens that when it's all put away properly it seems much more compact.
Don't make judgments based on pictures, because it just shows how ignorant you are.

gender roles...sigh.. very interesting though. It starts from birth, boys are wrapped in blue cloths, and girls in pink.

The use of color as a way to distinguish the own kid from other kids is very misguided in this mentioned example.

I mean where is the creativity of those parents who buy one and the same color over and over again.

Nikita Kondraskov   02.05.08

so... pink... ... eyes.... bleeding...

Jonas   02.05.08

"this isn't art"

You have no idea how much that phrase infuriates me. Just because something doesn't f****g appeal to you doesn't mean it loses its value as art. respect the work the artist put into this.

I once had to take an inventory of all of the things in my dorm room for a class. I didn't think I had that much, but it wound up filling 5 1/2 pages.

Still, it is fairly sad that we still live in this pink/blue dichotomy.

when you have kids you realize that, regardless of your taste or thoughts on the matter, you buy toys and such that will make your kids happy. obviously you don't buy everything your kids ask for, but seriously, what's the point of buying presents and stuff for your kids if they're not going to want to play with them? i sincerely doubt that any guys reading this would have been thrilled if their parents had bought them a barbie for their birthday so that they would be able to access their feminine side.
and while they undoubtedly have a lot of toys and crap, most kids do. when we redid my son's room and had to move all of his toys out to paint i was completely shocked by how much crap he had--not big/expensive stuff, but...crap. what i realized was that, like me, he saves everything. broken cars, broken toys, toys from fast food places and restaurants, shells, rocks, sticks, stickers, toys that he's had since he was a baby...it's just something kids do.
i guess i just don't understand why being a kid has to have so many labels put on it. putting an adult perspective on childhood is what causes problems, not buying pink toys for your daughter.
