1. It'll go well with the "Sex Queen" tops they sell for young girls.

12. Yeah, no kidding. At what point does cognitive dissonance make one's head explode?

15. It seems the Britney line of preteen slutwear

is finally going out of fashion. Such clothing generally does when economic times get tough.

Follow the fashion trends of the last 200 years. Good times mean high hemlines, nipped in waists, low necklines, and lots of embellishment. Hard times mean low hemlines, more shapeless silhouettes and utilitarian fabrics.

I certainly don't mourn the loss of Britneywear. It was quite a revelation to set foot in the mall 2 years ago for the first time in over a decade to see plunging necklines, bare midriffs and sequins pushed at the size 22 figure as well as the preteen market.

Needless to say, I went home empty handed.

2. That's better than the chastity belts I was imagining!

3. Please tell me the slogan isn't printed across the butt on the ones on the left

OMG, these virginity fetishists are some truly sick fucks. I'm talking about the adults, of course, not the poor girls they exploit to get their jollies.

[electropop]

4. Would it be better on the front?

:evilgrin:

[mzmolly]

6. Isn't that absurd?

:puke:

[marshall]

10. It's printed across the va-jay-jay

Makes more sense.

23. It may have been better to do it down the leg.

5. How To Promote Abstinence AND Traffic Safety

Make the loss of one's virginity mandatory for getting a driver's license learner's permit before the age of 21, requiring a video recording and two adult witnesses for proof.

Result: instant universal youth celibacy.

Personally, I think kids should start fucking as soon as they can use contraception. But that's just me.

--p!
Not WITH me -- just "me".

20. Personally, I think sexual intercourse is something

that has many facets, including emotional ones. I still recall the horrid games played on the emotionally vulnerable during junior high. Adding the complication -- and pressure -- for sexual intercourse, and you could have a real mess on your hands.

7. Love the slogan. They should do one with OJ Simpson crouching in a bush.

True love waits... and watches...

[nomorenomore08]

11. "True love waits... and watches..."

:rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. I can't wait, I have to go Pee

To hell with true love, my bladder and balve movements rule my underwear.

[LibDemAlways]

9. Better that, I suppose, than

a 12 year old with "Juicy" across her ass.

[blondeatlast]

17. I find both disgusting--and in really awful taste as well. nt

13. What a sick play on Buddy Holly's True Love Ways!

:puke:

[nomorenomore08]

22. Well, this is the crowd whose hero (Dubya) thought "Wake Up Little Suzie" was by Buddy Holly.

I doubt they'd be smart enough to come up with that play on words...

[wtmusic]

14. Do they make clothes for balding middle-aged FLDS ministers? nt

[originalpckelly]

16. "True love, it only has to wait until marriage, not adulthood."

[Dogtown]

18. the Fashion of the Xrist

must be waning, if it's worked it's way down to Kmart shoppers...

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

19. Well that's practically GUARANTEED to get teenagers to stop having sex.

:eyes:

[nomorenomore08]

21. "True love waits... until this pitcher of margaritas is finished."

Getting teenagers (or adults, for that matter) to stop having sex is something science has never figured out. Reminds me of Homer Simpson asking, "How come you guys can put a man on the moon, but you can't make my shoes smell good?" Seems like the human sex drive is as indelible as foot odor. :P
