Internet fun or child exploitation?

The Washington Post‘s On Success blog has a fascinating discussion on the morality of parents using their kids as profit centers.  The discussion stems from the viral video of a woozy 7-year old David DeVore after getting a tooth removed at the dentist.  His father, apparently, has turned the video’s popularity into a successful business.  Check out the discussion and some of the hilarious parody videos.
