Has Hollywood and the media gone pedophile?

Emily Browning in Sucker Punch

What has happened to the US media in the past decade?  In movies and TV shows I've noticed more and more women that are over 18 but have the body of a 14 yr old, what is the point of this? 

For example, Candace Bailey of G4 TV.  Born in 1982 so she'll be 30 soon but looks like she should still be on Nickelodeon.

Here's a link to the video of Candace playing paintball.

Sara Jean Underwood is another example.  Born in 1984 she was in Playboy in 2006 but also looks like she could be 14

And of course the recent movie Sucker Punch, where Emily Browning (born 1988) plays a 20 yr old but looks every bit of 15 throughout the movie. 

Am I crazy or is this really happening?  20-30 years ago co-hosts and playmates looked like women but now they look like young teen girls, right?  But why?  Are they trying to make the public attracted to 14 yr old girls? 

And what about the men who are attracted to this, would that make them pedophiles?  Because you could line up Candace, Sara and Emily in a 9th grade classroom and they'd look like all the other girls.  If a man is told everyday in movies and media that this is what's attractive and eventually likes it, should he seek counseling?  Should we all seek counseling?  And what's the next step, where do we go from here?
