Thong underwear in children's sizes upsets parents
Associated Press
Published May 17, 2002 MILWAUKEE -- Some parents are upset that Abercrombie & Fitch is selling thong underwear in children's sizes.
``I think of myself as fairly hip, and I think it's just disgusting,'' said Julie McNamara, a 40-year-old mother from suburban Whitefish Bay.
Another Whitefish Bay parent, Lisa Maxwell, expressed a similar view.
``It's out of hand at this point, it really is,'' she said Lisa Maxwell. ``It's Frederick's of Hollywood for preteens and teen-agers.''
Some have the words ``eye candy'' printed in a little pink heart and ``wink wink'' in a small green box.
``It's cute and fun and sweet,'' said Hampton Carney, spokesman for the company based in New Albany, Ohio.
Abercrombie & Fitch also upset some parents last year over a catalog which was filled with models who appeared to be college age or younger in the nude.
``Abercrombie has built their whole image on edginess, and even if people still don't buy them, they win because people are talking about them,'' said Laura Peracchio, a professor of marketing and consumer behavior at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Carney said Abercrombie & Fitch clothes may be designed with a certain irreverence, but it is all meant to be fun and fashionable.
He said the company found nothing objectionable about thongs at Abercrombie stores because the underwear isn't made in sizes smaller than medium.

Hello people listen up!
I am sick of your sniviling asses crying every time something like this happens.
If you dont like them just dont buy them.
If your kids keep whining they want them tell them NO. If they contiune smack them till they get the point.
Things like this come out for one reason. Big Business knows that one of the truths in the world is that american parents will give their kids anything if said kids whine long enough.
Get control of your children. After that you can complain about the state of the universe.

thats a good point wolfie, but it still shows how deep the moral decay has gone in our culture. for example, why the fuck do the liberals have this whole new campaign trying to un-demonize pedophilia? they are using their standard tactics too. first, get professors to endorse the idea (man-boy love association). next, come up with a new name that sounds less offensive (inter-generational sex is what they call it now), get it spread all over the media, blame conservatives and religious groups and call them bigots, get so-called "experts" to say on NPR how there are no harmful side effects (which is an outright lie), and next thing you know, pedophilia is mainstream and accepted.

I'm probably among the most liberal of the detnet posters, and I think kids thongs are a stupid idea. How do you fit Wonder Woman on a thong?
Serioulsy, companies shouldn't be this stupid. If the A&F corporates didn't see problems with kiddie thongs, they need to lay of the sauce and think straight for a second.
Although kiddie thongs are a bad idea, the whole vice-principal-lifting-up-skirts thing is fucked up. She SHOULD be fired, regardless of who wore what, and the girls should not have been denied access to the dance.

The article doesn't say how young. If a 16-year old girl wants to start wearing thongs...well, that's her choice I suppose. But anything younger than that is just stupid and disgusting. There's no debating that.
As for pedophilia...castrate the sickos...immediately...on the first offense No medication, no incarceration...take the jumblies.

I have to keep on eye on my soon to be 16 year old sister, she has a wilde side and doesn’t really understand the implications of what she wares. She tells me about like men who are in there 20’s and 30’s hitting on her it makes me real mad, I want to find them all and scream SHE IS 15! She thinks she is more mature then she is, I have to play the role of the second father because my parents don’t hear the things she tells me. SHE IS 15 GOD DAMN IT SHE IS OFF LIMITS! She should never ware a thong as a underage teenager it just arracts too much attention from older men.
