Pre-Teen Queens

How creepy is this Japan Beautiful Girl Contest held by Oscar Promotion, Japan's biggest entertainment agency. By putting them in identical hospital smocks, they look like something out of Village of the Damned.

What's even creepier is that the 12 year old winner isn't even a teenager yet and one of the runners-up is only 10 years old (she's the one that's about the same size as the trophy). Those 15 year old hags never had a chance. I have some questions for the moppets' parents:
1. Do you know who Jon Benet Ramsay was?
2. Have you read Lolita?

As you can see Kurumi is so overwhelmed by her win that she's doing the mandatory V sign but her fingers are pointing inwards at herself. Yes Kurumi, from now on it's all about you you you. I'm not familiar with the inner workings of the Japanese entertainment industry but if it's anything like Hollywood, then take your wide-eyed stare and run far far away little girl because rehab is no fun.
