Don't walk around in a bikini in this town

As much as I believe in freedom to wear what you want and if you have teenagers it is up to the parent to help guide that teenager as to what is appropriate, this women also has the freedom and the right to buy up all the stock if she disagreed with what it stood for and represented.
More power to her to do what she felt was right for her and her views. However, she may go broke very soon if she keeps trying to put her views upon everyone else.
one can only hope she does. But then we will be taking care of her as tax payers so it's a moot point.0 -
You see this kind of stuff at the beach... sometimes more. Just stay away is all that you have to do if you do not agree with it. There are more important things to worry about then this.0

I bet PacSun won't let her return the 19th t-shirt after her son gets a hold of it...0

It's the chicks from the movie Spring Breakers
Bet she would really crawl out of her skin if she knew it was supposed to be a bunch of young girls slinging meth with a rasta James Franco
my gosh what a terrible movie that was.0 -
People are weird.
Yep0 -
Although I applaud the effort, I think her energies would be better spent in raising her son to respect women rather than to shield his sensitive eyes. I mean, a mother can only do so much sheltering. At some point, it will be up to her 18 year old son to determine how to act on those images, and form an adult opinion of his own. She can't be next to him all the time.
Plus (tah-dah) they have more shirts in the back and bare chested mannequins are dirty.
Cha-ching. This.0 -
BEAUTIFUL! Love this. Right on target.0 -
I work in database marketing and this woman doesn't understand what she's done. She had a provocative t-shirt sell out in one day. The retailer's predictive models are going to start suggesting more and more of them be sent to the whole area. LOL!0
-
great....
so she bought the shirts and now they are at home (waiting to be returned within the 60 day period) for her son's very own private peep show...
wanna bet she can't return them at the end of 60 days due to staining?

thats got to be one of the most narrow-minded people ive ever heard of. does she go up and down interstates burning down the XXX stores when she goes on road trips? or complain to cable and sattelite providers when she skims thru the guides and comes across one of those dirty movie channels? or Victorias Secret catelogs?? what the hell does she do when those come in the mail? OMG how about Cosmopolitan Magazine in the Dr office?? i bet her head spins around and pops off!!!!!0

Not religious, but I liked what I read.

This is the exact same reason I buy up all the porn I see on the shelves. Disgusting!

I need some extra cash so I'm moving to Utah with a trunk load of porn. Did it mention her address by chance?
THIS!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!0 -
Well it's obvious that she likes to control things in her life.thats got to be one of the most narrow-minded people ive ever heard of. does she go up and down interstates burning down the XXX stores when she goes on road trips? or complain to cable and sattelite providers when she skims thru the guides and comes across one of those dirty movie channels? or Victorias Secret catelogs?? what the hell does she do when those come in the mail?

I don't understand, support or agree with the woman's actions. However, I find it ironic that people are bashing her view on what society should be with thier very own views of what should be acceptable.

^^^ So you're the guy who beats me to the store all the time?This is the exact same reason I buy up all the porn I see on the shelves. Disgusting!

oh... Utah...
also, I love this b/c the mother doesn't realize that the store is now going to get in MORE of these shirts, since clearly this is a good market for them.0 -

Not sure who specifically you are referring to, but I personally was speaking to her trying to make decisions for everyone else. There is a certain conservative portion of the country who would like to control what the entire country is allowed to view or do based on their own personal beliefs. Kind of goes against the personal freedoms our country was founded on. I like to think we all have the freedom to make our own choices, and if this woman doesn't like that particular T-shirt, she can choose to not buy it and not wear it.0 -
Coming from a conservative background, I understand her intent. I am not saying whether what she believes is right or wrong. She has a right to believe whatever she wants. However, as some have stated, her efforts would have been better spent in teaching her son the convictions of their family. Teaching her son to respect women, respect himself, and have self control will help him much more then taking away one thing, which is literally just a drop in an ocean. What's she going to do with Victoria's Secret? What's going to happen when he goes to college? Teach him integrity. Teach him to take responsibility for his own thoughts and actions instead of teaching him that it's the store's fault for showing it.0

No, it's not ironic at all, actually. Or hypocritical, which might be what you were actually going for.0 -
This woman obviously knows how retail works. That $500+ return will be a big hit on the store and it could possibly break their sales goals for the month and/or period--costing the company money and the management their bonuses. She knows what she's doing.0

That's just weird. If people weren't so uptight about nudity then I doubt it would be such a big deal.
Then again, I live in Florida so I see bikini clad bodies every day. Maybe I am just use to this horrible horrible sin. :sick:
Right?! lol
A bikini top and a sarong works well in Florida.

Seems like the older and the more out of shape a person is the more they complain about other people showing their bodies off.0

Uggggggggh. I live here (in UT) and this is pretty much how it goes. There are a lot of people that are accepting of 'outsiders' and yet there's still this feeling of a Puritan community when stuff like this happens.
Since I don't have kids, feel free to breeze past this, but for real...parents, -you- are in charge of your children, and your children alone. If you don't like something, either ignore it, or explain to them why you don't like it and let them make their own conclusions about it.
I hope someone else goes into that store and buys all of the shirts she returns.0 -
Not bashing her view. Just bashing her action to enforce her view. I disagree with how the KKK views things, but I fully would support that they have a right to whatever their views are.I don't understand, support or agree with the woman's actions.

It wasn't specifically aimed. However your problem with letter writing does slightly fit. You are upset that people are writing in letters of disapproval. Your opinion is that they should just shut up and change the channel. They are just making their opinion heard as a viewer. They aren't burning down the station or coming into your home and smashing your TV. I know for a fact if a TV channel showed a violent and graphic scene showing the rape and murder of a child, I would be inclined to write a letter, not just sheepishly change the channel. The question is what we each as individuals find personally acceptable. We as a collective are expected to make our opinions heard to form what is acceptable in society.I don't understand, support or agree with the woman's actions. However, I find it ironic that people are bashing her view on what society should be with thier very own views of what should be acceptable.

Your's doesn't fit into what I was saying. I agree with you that her intentions to protect her "little boy" are a complete failure.

Every station I watch has a ginormous TV-14 symbol with tons of letters and words telling you exactly what kind of content to expect from the show you are watching. And if the show is graphic beyond the norm, there is often a written and verbal warning after that so you know it's more than what you might want to watch. There are more warnings and labels and protections in this country than we could possibly ask for. The sad thing is that more of that protection is aimed at sexuality than it is at violence. For instance: the PG-13 rating does not allow any tongue contact with open-mouth kissing, or any nudity that shows breast or anything more than that. The F-word is not allowed or any graphic verbal descriptions of a sexual act. HOWEVER: the PG-13 does allow for the showing of graphic violence and death. Anyone who's seen the Hunger Games knows that . A great movie called "Bully" which would have been a wonderful teaching tool for children was recenctly forced to carry an R rating because it contained the F word 9 times. That's it. Nothing else, just the F word. It's a huge injustice that in this country the inability to tolerate a few swear words or the visual of the female nipple has caused us to change an entire ratings system, but it's perfectly okay to show one child stab another or grab another by the head and violently break his neck.0 -
Problem is, they will just restock the next day.0
