Quote : | "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.
"We have directed our stores to remove this merchandise from our shelves," Linda Brown Blakely, a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, told FOXNews.com Wednesday.
The undergarments had caused a stir on some blogs prior to Wednesday's announcement. Scarlett, a reader of Feministing.com, alerted the blog to the holiday-inspired undies, which she found on a rack in the juniors department of a Wal-Mart in Cary, N.C.
"There's nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don't need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs," Jessica Valenti, the executive editor of Feministing.com, wrote on the panty blog post.
Scarlett was so incensed by the message on the front of the panties, she didn't even see the Santa kicker in the rear, she wrote on the blog.
"I still think that the entire thing is messed up. This isn't just a cute T-shirt that says 'Just ask Santa,'" she wrote. "This is a pair of panties. Exactly how nice to Santa would the girl have to be in order to get stuff?"" |

i bet the real story here is she only saw the front, got pissed off and went feminazi on it, then found out about the back of the panties, but kept up the argument.
who gives a fuck what somebody else puts on their underwear? i get so damn tired of people who can't just mind their own business and only worry about things that affect them.

It's a place to start. You have to make a point to stop SOMETHING. The idea is that first the panties get pulled, then maybe the t-shirts, then this kind of crap gets pulled from commercials or TV shows. If you ignore all the "little" things, like our society does, instead of paying attention to the messages behind them, then these kinds of ideas become pervasive and harder to stop.12/13/2007 10:30:14 AM |

no, this is one of those issues where you don't buy the panties because you don't like them. You are depriving someone else of their right to purchase them if they so chose. When did it become acceptable in a 'free country' to dictate your standards and morals on others?12/13/2007 11:17:10 AM |

The only reason anyone is complaining is beacuse they were in the young girls section.
I'm sorry we deprived you of buying them for your daughter.

so? Every parent can make that decision for themselves. We do live in NC so there is mostly trailer trash around here. They buy this kind of shit all the time.

again, reading comprehension here. When did I say they were nice panties, that I Wanted to buy them, that I agreed with them, or that I even have a daughter let alone a child?

Why does it matter what a young girl's panties say anyway? If these girls are as sweet and innocent as their parents are claiming here and are being offended by the undergarments, then no one else should be seeing the panties on the girl in the first place. 12/13/2007 12:44:06 PM |
