Abercrombie sells thongs to children

What are your thoughts on this? abercrombie kids (subdivision of Abercrombie & Fitch), which targets tweens and children as young as 8, sells thongs. Yes. You heard me right. They sell thongs to children. If that wasn't bad enough, they have over-sexualized printed messages on the inside. Oh, and they also cost 5x the normal price of your usual slutty Target or no-brand thongs. Now to be fair, Abercrombie & Fitch is not the only offender. Juicy and other similar stores also market the 10-14 age bracket and sell things such as lacy bras, lingerie, vacuum tight leggings and T-shirts with sexual innuendos printed on them. IMO, these stores which target children and supplament the growing over-sexualization of youth deserve a reprobation. It's just not right. It just isn't.

Despite the prices ($150 for some pairs of jeans), the company is extremely successful due to the fact that many young adults/teenagers feel they must conform to their surroundings for various reasons and therefore shop at Abercrombie & Fitch.

k that is all. I know I sound like a Faux News reporter, but I was just really caught off guard when I went into the store last week and found thongs.

please say this is a joke

Yes, it was quite a splendid view for the first few weeks but after that, it just became slutty.

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="THE_MATRlX"]That might never happen. If all your slutty friends are wearing Abercrombie thongs...then ya know, it really give some incentive to go out there and buy a pair.

OK, so little Mellisa is getting changed in the locker room and the schools "Most likely to be a prostitute." kid comes in, her name is Brittney and everyone loves her, and whats this she has a thong. Brittney tells her friend Amber to look at this and she brags about her thong, Mellisa watches and listens to the whole conversation and is suddenly compelled to beg her parents to buy her a thong. Now her parents would know better but they hate to she their kid cry and get bullied, so they buy her a thong. When Mellisa goes back to school it turns out that a thong won't make all her probloms go away because Mellisa is not a beutiful girl and even though she wears cloths to turn on all her fellow 12 year olds she is still not popular, oh well.

Solution: don't shop at Abercrombie.

In fact you'll find this solves many other problems, and makes you a better person overall.

also, parent these days are afraid to discipline their child, want to be friends with them and allow their child to rule over them. I notice this a lot with suburban parents. I use to work at a daycare and had a lil summer job at a school and from what I've seen, they let their child rule them and are afraid to put them in their spot. Instead they give their child whatever and allow them to wear what is in, which is now, Abercrombie thongs. :P

Wecan blame the parents all we want but this is inexcusable for any company. They are pretty much feeding into little kids desire to fit in in adisgustingly exploitable way.

There's only ONE reason chicks at my school wear this kind of crap, and it's definitely not comfort.

I judge people by their appearances every day, and rightfully so. Very, very rarely will you see an intelligent girl in spandex and a thong.

I'll look at em just like everybody else, but I'd never be interested in dating any of em.

1. But if 80% of all sluts wear slutty clothing...you catch where I'm going?
2. No thanks. Morality is part of the adhesive that holds society together.
3. You don't seem to understand that the demand for thongs that fit girls who haven't hit puberty was created by these over-sexualized (and over-priced) casual-wear stores through immoral marketing campaigns and subliminal messages that target youth. You don't think that there is anything wrong with that?
4. I wasn't judging anyone by appearances. I can't exactly see a thong through their clothing.
5. Please use proper spelling and grammar.
