First There Was Bad Idea Jeans - Now Comes Bad Idea Lingerie

[jamesq]

Miley Cyrus' 9-year-old sister launching a lingerie line for kids.

While the pictures are border-line safe for work, they are most definitely Not Safe For Your Sanity. You have been warned.

I hope this is a hoax, but if it's not let's enumerate all the ways this is a BAD IDEA:

• It's lingerie for kids.
  
• This bears repeating: It's lingerie for kids. Lingerie - you know, the clothing who's only purpose is sexual enticement.
  
• Somebody had to conceive of this idea. They didn't immediately throw up in their mouth.
  
• Somebody else had to approve this idea.
  
• In fact, lots of people had to approve this idea - they had to approve it, and design the prototypes, and test market it, and get celebrity endorsements for it, and convince distributors and stores to carry it.
  
• Speaking of celebrities, Billy-Ray Cyrus allowed his 9-year old daughter to be associated with it. It's not like she can legally enter into an endorsement contract herself.
  
• People are going to buy this.

Seriously WTF is wrong with you people.

Remember folks, the only measure for success is money. If you can make money off something, you should make money off of it. Ethics, good sense and risk assessment should never stop you.

I think if making cancer contagious and airborn would improve a corporation's next quarterly profit statement we'd all be dead inside of two years.

This actually made me angry.
If I found those pictures on your computer, I wouldn't let you near my daughter. And yet, there they are legally on the interweb and in ads for children.
So wrong. So very wrong.

Well, you're a mommy now, so you're going to get a double dose of my own repulsion. for me it's academic, for you it's personal. garething has to struggle with this every day since his daughter is in the target demographic. On the bright side, she seems to be fairly level-headed.

As for the pictures on my computer, they're all consenting adults.

I heard this one on the radio this afternoon and my first reaction was WTF!!!!! plllleeeeeaaaaassse be kidding. The people that approved this should be lined up, shot, bayonetted, shot again, kicked about for good measure and then spit upon. This literally fried my mothery instinct-o-meter. Geeeeeezzzzuuuuuusss.

And here I am, thinking that any friends of mine who hit on my 18 year old sister (who is 90 lbs soaking wet, and looks at most 13) should be immediately castrated and fed their castrated bits for dinner.

Ok, I'm a little defensive, but damnsit, she looks 13. I pity Gareth sometimes, but, K is quite smart for a kid.

As for the rest... WTF. Huzzah prostitots?

I wonder if the Cyrus clan is part of the End-Timers' movement. It would explain a lot, since then this would be part of a cunning plan to hasten the Day of Armageddon...

My first reaction was "lingerie" is not only for sexual enticement, its any womens underware (and expanded to include a lot of styles of pjamas). Then I looked at the pictures.... some people need to give their heads a shake. I really hope the line flops because that will prove that although celebrities and the fashion industry are full of dumb, the rest of the human population isn't.
I am hoping this is like some of the other off the wall fashion lines (like the chocolate clothing fashion show pictures I saw the other day) which just aren't marketable to the masses. I have a sinking feeling this line is going to be available at places like Walmart though.

Mind boggling

The US is broken in all the ways that matter....

"I think if making cancer contagious and airborn would improve a corporation's next quarterly profit statement we'd all be dead inside of two years."

It already is.....

they are called modern cigarettes... you know the extra extra ones with the tar...

oh.... sorry (I didn't mean to let the cat out of the bag).

(The world is so broken, it makes me weep.)
