I had a right ding dong with ebay who didn't seem that bothered over this link

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/I-Love-Sex-Hoody-Any-Colour-Any-Size-1040-/270599915970?pt=UK_Girls_Tops&var=&hash=item3f010309c2

I started looking at the internet about it and came accross the mumsnet site
I'm no Mary Whitehouse but would you put a 9 year old in this?

No way! Urgh!

MrsKeithRichards · 31/07/2012 19:28

It's tacky that's for sure but from what link I don't see them pitching it at 9 year olds or girls in particular?

carycach · 31/07/2012 19:28

Well it's for size 32 " chest. My DD2s skinny teacher wears a 32'' school top on school trip.

attheendoftheday · 31/07/2012 19:29

I bloody wouldn't! I am shocked.

QueenofQuorn · 31/07/2012 19:30

that is fucking vile the size guide says 2-16. have you emailed the seller to tell them they are vile. I just tryed but dont have ebay registration.

what did ebay say are they removing it?

MrsKeithRichards · 31/07/2012 19:31

The bit with the 'kids sizes' is obviously just their standard advert blurb I'm guessing. For the I heart jls nonsense!

They just print any slogan you want on shit hoodies. It's tacky but it's on hanging up in Adams is it?

Is Adams even still open?

QueenofQuorn · 31/07/2012 19:33

I agree about the JLS etc so I asked ebay if they would ask sellet to remove just the i love sex one. They said As per our policy, the listing is fine

YANBU, that is just wrong.

QueenofQuorn · 31/07/2012 19:40

I suppose it's saving grace is that at the moment no one has bought one

DayShiftDoris · 31/07/2012 19:44

I wouldnt wear it but I am 32" chest so technically it would fit me even though I am not 9...

I think it's how their supplier is sizing it...

If I saw a 9year old wearing it then I think it raises a concern but being sold on a website... nah - its what you do with it.....

TheEnthusiasticTroll · 31/07/2012 19:57

PORN with O replaced with a heart.

Nobhead · 31/07/2012 20:06

I don't even know where to start describing what is wrong with that Shock. Anyone dressing a child in that should be fucking shot!

Mrsjay · 31/07/2012 20:13

It starts at age 9 to 11 It is really tacky I cant see many people allowing their 9yr olds to wear it though

lovebunny · 31/07/2012 20:28

bad. but if you saw an underage child in one, you'd know the parents needed investigation. it's like wearing 'my mum and dad don't care what happens to me' isn't it?

Extrospektiv · 01/08/2012 09:11

Over-reaction lovebunny... "Investigation"? As in phone SS or police bang down their door or what?

There is certainly a consensus against blatantly sexualised stuff for pre-teen children on this site (cf. "Let Girls Be Girls") but some parents think differently and would find it funny. I know that 10 year old girls would find it a right laugh to be wearing something with "I heart sex" on it, and as most of them have got flat chests and still think sex is "creepy" and "disgusting" it would hardly mean anything.

If someone was raping their 9-11y/o daughter or wanted somebody else to have sex with them, do you think they'd let them wear this anyway? Paedophiles are sly and deceptive, apart from the ones with learning difficulties/ (other) mental health problems who luckily tend to get caught faster. They wouldn't attract attention to a child by dressing them in this.

carycach · 01/08/2012 09:21

To begin with I thought '9-11 yrs 32'' chest' was just a standard size description, but then I noticed it is listed under 'kids clothing' catagory.

I am usually the last person to be offended by cheeky rude T shirts, but this isn't humorous .It is deeply deeply wrong. for a child to wear a top like that

Extrospektiv 'some parents would find it funny'

Really ?

can I ask if you have got a daughter of that age?
