Um, as a teacher and mother of an 11 and 8 yr old, I don't think this actress looks 8. She looks like all the college girls I see around town(I live in a big university town). Maybe the article build up was too much, but I was really expecting to see a disturbing image. A Brooke Shields in Pretty Baby, Kirstin Dunst in Interview with a Vampire image.My first thought was that the ad is a total rip off of the Twilight cover. And the whole apple/garden of eden image was hokey and contrived. I can get my panties in a wad over creepy kid stuff(thong underwear at little girls stories, juicy written across the asses of prepubescent girls etc) but in this case the author seems to be over reacting. 8? Really? How many 8 yr old girls do you actually know?
