We all know that youth will always have an edge in pop culture and consumerism. But now even babies in utero are in on the commercialized luxe life. A new show on
WeTV,
Platinum Babies, debuting on Friday, November 6, will highlight wealthy parents-to-be who are sparing no expense when it comes to getting ready for their little one's arrival. In the first two episodes you'll meet Victoria and Tom, and Tara and Andrew, and watch along as they shop, shop, shop, par-tay (celebs on hand, natch), get massages, et cetera. I don't think I'll be DVRing this show, as I feel a little bit icky thinking about what I assume will be baby exploitation and massive, blatant product placement.

Honestly this show is a waist. Spoiling babies is one thing but spending lots of money on diamond encrusted binkies and gucci shoes for a new born is just nuts. For one that binkie that cost so much will get lost and when it's found im pretty sure someones gonna stop by the pawn shop and get a pretty penny for it. Second of all gucci shoes, COME ON. Those things are not gonna be warm and ur baby is gonna be in footies most of the time unless u care more about the appearance of the baby rather than the health of the child. This show is a waste!
