Bah humbug...didn’t you ever go to a concert when you were young? Parents would rather shell out hundreds of dollars so their children can see wholesome entertainment than pay less to see scantily clad women hump men on the stage.
“didn’t you ever go to a concert when you were young?”
Indeed and never paid more than $10 for a ticket. Teaching princess that her pouting will earn her a ticket to a 2 hour show that would cost her one or two weeks wages if she had a part time job one isn’t what I’d call prudent character building. It’s spoiling and we know how much daddy likes that.
Once, when Elton John came to Seattle in 1976 (I was twenty at the time) I won tickets on the radio for myself and my fiance to go. There was no way I was going to pay the fifty bucks the scalpers wanted on the streets at that time, not while I earned a few hundred a month.

As for this Hannah Montana character being "wholesome entertainment", I will confess that I don't know squat about her music or any other aspect of her shows, but I did see a clip from one of her shows in a story about the ticket scalping. It showed teeny boppers gyrating in ways not dissimilar to the scantily-clad women you refer to, I sure wouldn't want my daughter (if she were still eleven) emulating that.
If the princesses-in-training really need to have a few hundred bucks spent on them, there are ways to do it where the satisfaction lasts for more than a couple of hours.
