Electra would be proud

No matter how many times we're grossed out by this, they keep putting it in the news.

No sex please, we're daddy's little girls

WASHINGTON (AFP) - It has all the ingredients of a wedding. The proud tuxedo-clad father, the frosted white cake, the limousines and an exchange of vows.

But there is no groom and the girl in the long gown is no bride. She's daddy's little girl, there to take a vow of chastity.

In what is becoming a trend among conservative Christians in the United States, girls as young as nine are pledging to their fathers to remain virgins until they wed, in elaborate ceremonies dubbed "Purity Balls."

A very special day!

So many kinds of EWWWW.

And what happens to the Daddy's Little Virgins who don't end up as special prizes for suicide bombers?

One study conducted by researchers at the universities of Columbia and Yale found that 88 percent of pledgers wind up having sex before marriage.

"Unfortunately these young people tend, once they start to have sex, to have more partners in a shorter period of time and to use contraception much less than their non-pledging peers...."

There you have it: Science proves, Purity Balls lead directly to Britney Spears!!!

Quiverfull always makes me think of a comment I heard referring to them: "It's a vagina not a clown car!"

Did I mention that Quiverfull creeps me out totally. It's basically a "Christian" redress of pump more pure Arayan kids out for the Fuhrer...because it's scary that OMG white childbirth is slowing down and there's not enough Conservatives Christians to take over the world nation. It's seriously fucked up...come to think of it literally. And it basically puts women at the mercy of every male around them starting with their godhead master husband.
