A young girl and an adult model, both dressed in bikinis, pose with a car during an auto show in Wuhan city, central Chinas Hubei province, 16 November 2012. Visitors to an auto show in Wuhan, capital of central Chinas Hubei province, were shocked to see a five-year-old girl wearing only a bikini and a wig blowing them a kiss while her other hand gently caressed a car. She was one of three child models, aged four to five, wearing bikinis and striking sexy poses at the auto exhibition in the city on Friday (16 November 2012). The display may have been at attempt to amuse visitors bored with the usual array of scantily-clad young women but instead the overwhelming reaction was one of outrage. Tens of thousands of netizens expressed their fury at the girls parents and show organizers for being willing to ruin their childrens lives for money and attracting public attention by crossing the moral red line. In a set of photos and a video recording, the three bikini girls are seen posing with other adult models. In one picture, a girl is seen trying to mimic a sexy pose by bending over while holding a cars rearview mirror. The photos and the video spread like wildfire on the Internet, stirring huge waves of controversy. Now even little girls have fallen victims to businessmens pursuit of profit, said one online comment. Another netizen asked: What kind of evil minds are driving the parents and the organizers to dress the children in bikinis just to attract more eyes and satisfy pedophiles? And to those who filmed and pictured them, where is their conscience?
