Abercrombie Selling Thongs for Kids.
Ahem.
Dear Abercrombie:
You need to fire the dumbass who keeps coming up with stupid ideas.
Sincerely,
-Friedo
I saw this on the news last night and could not fucking believe it. These things even have patches on them that are supposed to be “cute”. The patches say things like “cherry” and “eye candy”
Eye candy?!!!…CHERRY!!! Holy-fifty-foot-Jesus-on-a-thermonuclear-hippity-hop that’s just wrong. Who is the idiot (or pervert - I’m not sure which) who green lighted this product launch?
Fuckin A’.
Where’s this country going?
And what’s with this handbasket?
Yeah I’d like to slap the guy in marketing who came up with this, he’s giving the rest of us a bad name.
Two Wongs can make it white, indeed.
What a bunch of idiots. And they have no plans to recall.
last time we had the t-shirts with Asian racial slurs. Now we have the pedophile-bait thongs for kids. There must be a mole from The Gap subverting from within in the A&F marketing department.
I’m going to rant now. Please disregard offensive sections below:
Abercrombie and Fitch is nothing but a low-imagination, low quality clothes store. No one over the age of 17 should wear these clothes unless they plan on looking like a sloppy teenager. GROW UP and wear something a little more CLASSY. Go to freakin’ Banana Republic at least and get a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt, for God’s sake. Quit looking like a sloppy, over-sized camping bum. Wear something with some class and style.
Rant over.
Tibs.
A&F can go suck it. First Racist clothes, now pedophile clothes, what’s next, “Have Sex with your Pets” brand t-shirts?
I particularly like how the statement from A&F that I saw on the news last night said that anyone who sees these panties as suggestive is just sick themselves.
WAY TO TURN THAT AROUND. Mind if I pop your daughter’s creamy eye candy cherry sir?

This is why I want to learn to sew.
Now, come on, jarbaby… is it A&F’s fault if you are choosing to associate these harmless kiddie panties with similar goods worn by exotic dancers and sold by Frederick’s of Hollywood for purposes of down and dirty booty?
(Note: I have nothing against exotic dancers… but they should be older than eleven, goddamn.)
Did you ever think that perhaps the kids simply find thongs more comfortable, or are simply trying to avoid the fashion faux pas of visible panty lines?
Ya sick bastid.
Boy, I don’t envy parents today. My parents thought they had it tough when I asked for my first bra… :rolleyes:
On the upside, it means fewer skid marks in the laundry to worry about.
J, you may have served dangerously close to the single best sig line I have ever laid eyes on.
[TMI]
Actually, pldennison, when a piece of cloth is flossed up your ass, do you really think it PREVENTS skid marks?
May your eleven year old be a good wiper.
[/TMI]
Jeezus, did I just write that???
Christ, I’m 29 and I’d need a power washer to keep my thongs free of skids

That’s the exact reason why I don’t poop.
Lighthearted and cute? Oh, right; nothing says lighthearted good clean fun like a nine-year-old in a thong marked “EYE CANDY.”
Ow. I just rolled my eyes so hard I sprained something.
Thank God. I hoped it wasn’t just me.
I’ll tell you what really scares me is that some parent is going to buy their kid this and not see anything wrong with it.
These are the same folks who cake so much freakin make-up on their 8-year-olds that they look like racoons, and who think that child beauty pagents are a good thing.
I really wish we’d let kids be kids…
