OK....SO....I don't even know how to do this one without getting on a soapbox...

So sometimes business loses perspective or forgets the message....this in turn brings out the Christian Right Wingers and even I have to agree with them. So Wally-World(The Walton Empire that added 5-6 new millionaires to Forbes list several years ago) was selling a product that, even though I am not a parent horrifies me. I am just curious how many of this product they sold prior to their corrective action. The picture follows (oh yeah a picture is worth a million words, and yes these were in the juniors section of the young girls department):



Please read carefully the message on the front of these undergarments meant to be worn by young girls age approximate(this is just an estimate) 10-16 years of age....cute huh? NO, more like disgusting for all the inferences it makes. I mean I am the last person to judge any situation,
but doesn't this turn your stomach also? Maybe not, if not please tell me you have no contact with teenage children. Nonetheless, here is the article that is attached to this. I found this on the Consumerist blog. it was sent in by a Wal-Mart customer who was shopping and snapped the above pic. Here goes:

Walmart "Junior" Panties Suggest That Your Genitals Are Better Than Credit Cards [Gross]

from Consumerist by Meg Marco

Over at Feministing, a reader noticed these panties in the "juniors" section at the Wal-Mart on Kildare Farms Road in Cary, NC.

While we can't disagree with the strict literal interpretation of the message, perhaps Walmart should consider printing it on a wallet, rather than on panties meant for teenage girls. The whole prostitution angle is clouding the message of fiscal responsibility. Hey, it's just a suggestion.

LOL....I love what they had to write. "...Prostitution angle is clouding the message of fiscal responsibility." LOL!!!! Sorry, but lets be serious...hold on ...just one more....lol....!!! Ok, I am done.

Seriously though, it is a great message just placed in the wrong ....uuuuuhhhh 'venue'....the crotch of a teenage girls undergarments. What was this buyer thinking? What was Wally World thinking? I mean if you follow ....lets not....I will stop there. As I said previously the message is so great "Who needs credit cards?" Debt-free living, now there is a message to begin driving into your teenagers, it may be our only hope in this country. Simply put though in my opinion (notice I didn't call it humble) pick a different billboard.

So .... LOL.....the light bulb went off in the corporate offices of Wally World. OMG, I just realized reading further what was on the back of them.....ROFL.....You have got to read the follow-up on this...

Walmart has pulled the prostitution panties, according to Fox News.

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.
Oh my, we didn't know about the Santa part. Gross! Do not be that friendly with Santa! Milk and cookies is all you should be giving him, young lady. Who knew Santa was such a perv?

Since Walmart has chosen to pull these panties from their shelves, we can only assume that a tsunami of pantie sighting pictures will soon be washing up on the shores of our inbox. (That sounds really dirty, doesn't it?)

OK....So.....I apologize for my assumptions, I may have seemed to present, and after finding out what was on the back....there was a level of .....NO.....can you spell inappropriate (hopefully I can). I really want to know why did Wally World think this would be a good thing to sell. Usually, people put words in places because they want the viewer to read the words...so why did someone think this was a good idea for someone to be viewing. Oh I got it same freaking genius that prints "PINK" on the sweats of some girls, right across the posterior(family blog, lol) and as a 40+ year old man, and I see something and start reading it, I suddenly realize that I am staring blatantly at the posterior region of some 18 year old college student. I just want to go on record that being a male and after observing enough of my brethren, ladies you do not to put any words back there to bring our eyes immediately to your....posterior region once you turn around. In case you didn't know...lol. I am just glad Wally World saw the err in their ways...now if the beast can just take some responsibility for its labor practices, its product purchases from China, and a few other major choices they may not be accused of contributing the the demise of Western civilization...lol....really some people say that. LOL!!!!
