Stupid ad of the day

Economics/life-navigation advice of the day:
Parents: Do not turn your children into actors/models/beauty-pageant contestants. Send them to college. Teach them who Benazir Bhutto is and how to solve polynomial equations. That is all.

Children's Modeling & Acting Ages 0-18 Start your child today, the legitimate way! No Fees, No Dues Ever! Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Make copies of your child's photo. On back put name, birth date & contact number.
Include short note telling them what you are seeking (modeling, commercials, etc)
Mail to the Children's Agents using our Preprinted Mailing Labels or Lists.

You will never be asked for money from anyone on our lists. We supply you the names and addresses of licensed agents nationwide.
Children's Photo's
Professional photos of babies are NOT required by the agencies on our list, rather the opposite. A few simple snapshots of your baby will do. Some parents may insist on having professional photos taken. Please do not do this strictly for modeling purposes. You will simply be wasting your money. At this stage of a baby's life, his/her looks change incredibly fast. Also know the agents on our lists will not force you to use their photographer. If you ask for a list, they will supply you with it.

Personal Managers
