Are child beauty pageants wrong?

The TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras is a reality show that follows child beauty pageant contestants and their parents around. The behavior on the show is frequently outrageous to a point where questions about parental responsibility and even abuse may come to mind. Here's a clip that has made the rounds on the internet featuring "Honey Boo Boo Child." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABzMAuI1vj0 Putting aside the questionable behavior of the people on this show who may not represent typical pageant contestants or parents, these events ask children to compete based on beauty and talent. So are child beauty pageants immoral?
