    This was sick....

    Hi All,
    Yesterday I went shopping with the wife and my two little girls (4yrs & 16mths). Anyways we are at one of those discount stores for brand names called Winners looking for some spring pajamies for my growing 4 year old. So there we are looking through the racks for something when my 4 year old is holding up a THONG. Yep, you read it right a THONG size 2X. My 4 year old goes up to my wife and askes What's this Mommy? I couldn't believe it. The damn thing was almost all elastic. I went to the underwear rack and saw the same thing for other sizes in all these hot pinks, purples, reds and blues.
    I don't know about you guys but what sick F. would put a thong on their 3-7 year old. It really bugged me out.
    Oh well, at least we picked up some great Blues Clues, Cinderella and Scoopy Do PJ's.

      Yeah, it's sad. I'm equally pissed off when I see clothes that are CLEARLY for preteens that say things like:

      Porn Star (this one's pretty popular in the USA, amongst the "trendy youth")

      So Many Boys, So Little Time (umm...)

      and my personal least favorite of all time:

      Slut In Training (yeah, I really saw this)

      I'm the least you could do
      If only life were as easy as you
      I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
      If only life were as easy as you
      I would still get screwed

        No doubt the marketing directors for these companies have pictures on their HDD's that would land 'em in prison

            That's just f*cking wrong! The designers of that crap should be gathered and shot.

                  Yes, in my extremely liberal opinion they should be shot as well.

                    This stuff is only made because there are actually parents buying it - think about it and get reallysad.

                      But but don't you know all those little girls want to look like the skanky Britney Spears? So their parents have to buy them the thong underwear and revealing clothes so they fit in with all the other kids at school.

                        This all reminds me of the top 10 things not to say in Victoria's Secret

                        1. Does this come in childrens sizes?

                        It's just a fricken joke! breath....exhale...breath....relax

                          I saw a talkshow on mothers buying kids thongs yesterday.
                          The mother's argument was that thongs are more comfortable. Now I can't qualify that myself...... anyway.

                          From a hygine standpoint, they are supposed to predispose you to urinary tract infections (dont ask me to justify that either) hence you are suggested not to weat them at the gym.

                          This is aside the point. The point is that these things are market driven by the same people who want Nike trainers and ear piercings for their 6mth old.

                          Some people treat kids like fashion accessories
