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.

Oh they will be flying off any shelf they are on now. They have been on fox noise. People will be googling where to get them. These things are nasty and I would never buy anything like that for my daughter, I despise Walmart and would shop there is you paid me, but you know there are people going to search for them now. Crazy!!!!

My question is - "who is the marketing moron who though these up?" - sounds like he needs to be investigated for kiddie porn...

I guess it had nothing to do with the probable toxic dye that was used in the panties. They were from China,weren't they?

Abso-frigg­in-loutely brilliant marketing. BRILLIANT, I say!

I love that I haven't read or heard about this story anywhere except Fox News, via HuffPo. Just another example of Fox's "outrage" over sexuality in the world, and their exploitation of that sexuality to hold the attention of their neanderthal audience.

How many "outraged" parents did Fox managed to find?

I only read about some blogger in the article, who didn't even claim to be a parent, and didn't read BOTH sides of the underwear.

Typical. Of Fox, that is.

Yank Wal- Mart from the shelves until they realize that people are more important than Money.
