  6. “Stripper poles now allowed in pageants” http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i58869 Starting in 2005 with a request from 4-year old Sophia Clarkman's mother, Jane Clarkman, to include "talent poles" within segments of nationwide beauty competitions, the hot topic has suddenly become all the rage, literally, among players of the child pageantry world. . . "My daughter has an acrobatic talent that just happens to be doing tricks around a pole. It has nothing to do with stripping," she tells media reporters. . . "She just loves to dance, loves to move her body, and loves to be the hottest, like all the other girls, don't let them kid you," exclaims Clarkman. "They're all just jealous that they can't spin as well as my girl, or have never tried because their mommies won't let them. Sophia can do the bridge, the straight leg grip, everything really, because her body is so young and flexible.”
