to have complained about this child's top?

[Lotster]

I was in Peacocks yesterday - I know, living the high life! Our nearest town is a bit limited for kids clothing and wanted to get my son some long sleeved tops.

I saw this boys top hanging up and it stopped me in my tracks.

Now, given that this top is for boys aged 1-6 I don't imagine the joke could be aimed at fellow 6 and unders, as they wouldn't get the joke, so surely must be aimed at older children and adults. Which is why I found it made me really uncomfortable. The lady in the shop said she agreed with me, but a friend thought I was being over the top.

So am I being precious or is it really bad taste?

I don't understand the problem??

i don't get it

think you are being a bit oversensitive, I only saw what you meant when I tried to find an 'angle'. I look at other people's kids if they are cute and hope as a DP other people don't find it weird! So a Tshirt encouraging it is kind of OK.. isn't it?

your being precious.

I'm not sure it's necessarily bad taste but it is a particularly revolting top, with a horribly teenage-esque message on it.

I think its ok

Whats wrong with it?

oh I love it
think I will have to put a link on sn.

i can't read the ery very small writing, so i don't understand

I don't get it either but then all slogan t shirts are naff and crap and shouldn't be bought regardless of offensive content or not

Don't see the big deal. It's not like it says I'm a little twat, as someone added to another thread, as an example of waful childrens stuff.

I get why you're upset about it, but I don't personally feel that it's a huge deal. I'm uncomfortable enough to not want to buy it, but not enough to complain.

So I don't know if you are being unreasonable or not....

whats your beef exactly?not risqué is it

what does it say???

I don't understand why it's offensive - what am I missing?

The small print says "you're not the first and you won't be the last".

Connor - agree on slogan t-shirts.

What does the tiny writing say?

i still don't get it. how is that offensive?>

you must be very sensitive or pc to find offence in that

Ok I suppose I see the sentence
"Do you think I don't notice you staring at me? You're not the first and you won't be the last." somewhat provocative.

In fact I think it's obvious. Imagine your teenage daughter wearing it??

thanks for telling me what the small writing says.

in that case.............i don't get it

please someone tell me why it's offensive

keep on digging,you might reach australia at this rate

Well it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be from your OP but tbh I wouldn't be putting DS in it.
But then I don't like any kind of t-shirt that seems to imply that the wearer thinks they're God's gift to other people and they should be grateful to know them/have them on the planet.
So - YANBthatU but perhaps a bit precious to have complained about it!

I think you are reading too much into it.

Also it would be way too small for a teenager to wear it if it fits ages 1 - 6

I have seen much,much worse.

I dont understand - its a top for boys, so its not exactly provocative is it???

I would love one for DS2 - when he is having an ASD meltdown everyone does stare.
