According to this story: FOXNews.com - Wal-Mart Yanks Pink 'Credit Card' Panties Off Racks - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News Due to consumer pressure, a line of panities for young girls was removed from sale at Wal-Mart. The reason given was they gave the wrong message to young girls but I wonder, was it the wrong message or just that some people do not want to admit the truth? You see, I have always seen prostitution as the same as dating or marriage. The only differance is the man will pay many times less to have a hooker. If I take a woman out to dinner and dancing, I will spend between 2 to 5 hundred dollars, if I "get lucky" at the end of the night, how is she any different than any call girl? I think many people get upset at things like this because they know it is the truth of how society is changing.
LMAO.. No I get the Sam Kinison message. Kind of a sexest message. You know women rule cause "They got the p***y man!
Errrrmmm....? I don't get it? They say "Who needs credit cards" on the front and "When you have Santa" on the back. WTF? What does this have to do with prostitution or anything even remotely close to that? Again I don't get it? Why is this bad? Questionmark?
J5 I just explained it. They don't need a credit card cause they can get what they want with whats inside the panties.
They were targeted at young girls, girls which are far younger than any that the people posting on this thread would "date" (I hope). I didn't see anything about "prostitution" in the article, but the message seems to be "if you put out, you get presents". Is there anything wrong with allowing young girls to remain innocent for a while?
I agree with you but I don?t believe they were targeted toward young girls. They know that younger kids like to mimic older kids and so smaller sizes where made too.
The message was on panties, who is intended to read the message? Don't be fooled, they were saying that little girls can get what they want without credit cards and being as Santa is not real, who is to play Santa for the girl to use as a crdit card? Clearly modern times has admitted to the way things have turned into a woman having an ATM machine between her legs when we have it being written on little girls panties.
I noticed you used the word "kids", not young adults. I have absolutely nothing against these being targeted at young adults. The article said that the target was "adolescent teens".
NO. I think this is bullsh*t. The message isn't meant to be read by anyone but the wearer of the panties. I think you are reading to much into this. I also have my doubts that these are actually intended for children. I believe that is a fallacy. Children do not have credit cards. They should be more concerned with the 10 year olds wearing thongs. Something I have seen more than a few times. And that's saying alot when you can tell that a 10-13 year old is wearing a thong while shopping in Wal-Mart. As far as the small size, My girlfriend is a size 1 and often has to shop in the juniors section. Why are people offended? Don't let you child wear them. Period.
It says right there they were in the juniors department, clearly targeting young girls. You cannot refute the message, they use Sants to get what they want, who is playing Santa for the little girls? Dress is driven by peers and parents. Girls mimick their mothers most of the time and if their mother is wearing thongs, then the young girls will want to wear what they see their mother wearing. Size 1? I would be scared of breaking her, poor little thing. I prefer women, not little girls. The smallest I ever dated was a size 4 and that is only because she had big fake boobs, lol. Besides, when I buy stuff for my women I don't look like a child molester, imagine how you would look trying to find sexy undies at the little girls department, lol.
Why? I went shopping for our anniversary and thought it'd be cool to get her a few thongs and a sexy bra. So I went to Wal-Mart and picked a few pairs out. I wanted to get an idea if they fit so I asked this 10 year old girl to hold them up to her body so I could see. And then after I got out of prison....... The message I hear is "Who needs to buy stuff when Christmas is so near" or something to that effect. Maybe I'm just real laid back or stupid but I don't hear prostitution overtones or anything even remotely sexual in that message.
I doubt very much that you're stupid but, unfortunately, the double entendre is there - read it as you will.
I absolutely hate to see sexy or provocative undies aimed at young kids. Sure they like to wear the same stuff as grown-ups but jeez, there has to be a limit! Kids should be allowed to remain KIDS!
Yes I see the argument. The most expensive one is certainly marriage. I know several guys who married and have since been ditched and fleeced. And to think I once envied them,as they sauntered by with a goddess on their arm. now I just feel sorry for them as they shamble by, bitching about their ex's, the almony/palimony/kids they cant see/ pensions and houses they have lost to their ex's. And my, how the goddesses have changed - Yuk.. My nest egg is just fine, and so is my house.And no, i'm certainly not seeking a wife. Well not in the West anyway.
I think people seem to be in a stupor by the fact that this message is written on underwear. If it was on a tee shirt, I doubt anyone would have noticed. The message itself is not sexual, not at all. If anything this message displays Americas lust for capitalism. These are "hipsters", or briefs. A very contemporary style. The message is supposed to be received as humorous. Also I assume the item, as well as the specific message, seems aimed as a gift item specifically for the holidays. Y'all motherf*ckers got yer panties in a bunch.
A state of mind does not form by snapping your fingers, it is a slow and deliberate process. By constantly bombarding our children with certain kinds of messages, we help to form their state of mind. Sure, these panties seem like a small thing but we need to pull back and look at the entire picture, not one brush stroke to see what is happening. Do we really want our little girls believing that they have an ATM machine between their legs at such a young age? Do we really want our little girls thinking they need to have a "santa" or sugar daddy to take care of them?
I got a pair of mantyhose from my mom on Christmas one year. The rest of the family had a hay day with that one.
I really don't see how you can extrapolate sex from that message. Or how you think this harmless joke message equates to a vaginal Automatic Teller Machine. Underwear, even for, actually especially for children, often has funny or whimsical messages on them. Not meant to be read by the person servicing them sexually. It is a humorous Christmas joke. Thats all.
But it is a message to the child putting them on right? What are credit cards for in the eyes of a child? They don't know anything about the bills that follows later, all they see is ther parents using them to buy things, so to a child, credit cards are for getting the things you want. So, we tell the child that she does not need a way to buy the things she wants because she can get Santa to get those things, but we put that message on panties. Clearly there is more to a message than the actual words, there is also delivery to consider. If I had "kiss this" on my shirt, it would have one meaning, if I had the same thing on the seat of my pants, the same words would mean a completely different thing. All I am saying is there is a clear second meaning that can come from these things and I support the consumer right to complain and have stuff like this removed from the shelves.
