RIP Society of the Day: Oh, we’re not done with TLC’s Toddlers & Tiaras — not by a mile. That show is everything that is wrong with the world today, and it must be brought to an unceremonious end.

On last night’s episode, pageant mom Marlo was shown stuffing her 11-year-old daughter Sydney into a corset — a corset! — while stating matter-of-factly: “It doesn’t matter if you can breathe or not, it only matters if you look beautiful.”

Things go downhill in a hurry, as Marlo has Sydney model her swimsuit, which her dad fears is too revealing. “We don’t start showing crack ‘til the 13-14 group,” Marlo tells her husband, entirely certain she is being reassuring.

“I’m not a crazy pageant mom: I’m an insane one,” Marlo says later on in the show. “The doctor says I’ll be just fine with medication and lots of therapy!”

Unfortunately, Sydney won “Grand Supreme” at the International Fresh Faces Missouri Pageant — whatever any of that means — so it is rather unlikely Marlo will be compelled to quit parading her daughter around like a life-size Bratz doll anytime soon.
