Ashlee Simpson Pledge Video

The first of the videos from our earlier explorations into the hearts and minds of Ashlee's fans. While some have found this clip humorous, we must insist that it is not our intent.

We believe that children like this music for the same reason that many of us listened to terrible music in our youth : the power of money and marketing. Children are not exposed to a variety of commercial music, and therefore have very small pools to choose from. These girls are not better or worse than we were at their age, nor are they worse or better than other children their own age.

We do not exist as an organization to crush the dreams of young girls and boys. We exist to bring light to the fact that crappy music is being shoved down the throats of everyone in this country. Thus this substandard fare is becoming acceptable through repetition, not merit.
