Wal-Mart Yanks Saucy Pink Panties From Shelves

Fox News:

Suggestive pink Santa panties targeting young girls are being removed from Wal-Mart stores after parents objected to the offensive undergarments.

The panties, which were sold in the juniors department, seemed to suggest that girls don't need money, they just need a sugar daddy -- in this case Santa Claus.

The hipster briefs -- carrying the slogan "Who needs credit cards ..." on the front and "When you have Santa" on the derriere -- caused an uproar among parents, who called for the $2.96 drawers to be pulled off the racks.

Also pulled, panties that read "Daddy's Little Plaything"

Meanwhile they carry all of the ingredients to make crystal meth in one convenient location. Gotta love it.

Wal-Mart could put a turd on a stick and sell it as an all-day sucker ONLY if you patronized their stores. Are we so hard up for a few pennies saved at the expense of creating China jobs and supporting employers who had encouraged employees to get on welfare to supplement their "wage"? The GUM department store in Moscow was more interesting than any of the Wal-Marts - hell, the gulag company store was better. Snap out of it - turn your back on these creeps.

I can't even imagine how that could have happened at Wal-Mart. They don't mind killing pets and kits with their non-existent QC program, but they generally steer away from this kind of thing.

A equally unthinkable parallel would be McDonald's selling salty, greasy food that they know is harmful to customers. Oh, they do that?

Well then, it would be like Disney Co. creating a covert movie production company to produce movies and related products that are not "family-oriented", but very adult, racy, and worse. Oh, they do that?

Hmm. So much for corporate ethics in America.

Just don't buy the freaking things for Christ's sake! Why can no one else buy something that a few prudes don't like? those people are so anal retentive they wouldn't bend over to pick up a 100$ bill. (Thanks Lucky)

I suppose we could just not buy them, but hey, let's make a big, huge ruckus so that everyone on the planet knows about them. That way, no one will even think to buy them. Right...

How about the panty slogan "In case of fire, pull here." (From "Are You Being Served?")

...protecting their daughters.­......fema­le genital mutilation is just under the surface.

Where these panties on the same isle with the talking Jesus doll? What would Jesus say? "Oh Father, the sacrifice I've made for these people it was not in vain! Praise the Lord!!!".

They only yanked them AFTER it made the news. Im not surprised we hear about all the younger women selling nude photos on the web, and remember the young girls selling themselves in the malls so they can go shopping. I remember Stephen Cobert doing a comedy bit on this when he was still on the Daily Show. "You can touch my nookie for a pair of Guccis" How oral sex has become more of a pass time for kids than dancing or playing games. And now with Teen pregnancies up to a new high, with the help of the bogus abstinences, condoms are evil program that Bush supports.

Walmart would not have pulled these if they wouldnt have been caught by the press. And morons do buy them for kids. I know my X wife has bought some for our young daughters that say things like Candy Shop and Sugar Daddy. When they wear them to my house, I give them new pairs and toss those things in the trash. I think 7 and 9 are a little to young to be getting those. But thats just me, my X thinks they are cute.

Total Tack-O-Rama!

[rini]

Yeah,

That underwear was cool, only a few years ago. It was too close a call for Mall Wart.

[lisakaz]

Did Paris Hilton come up with that slogan?

[Lt]

Hipster Briefs, big deal.

The people who complained about this underwear
are the same people that brought us GW Bush and the War in Iraq.

Do ya think that they might be the ones that are a little over the top?

[WildFancyLady]

oops Would Not!!!
