To feel phsyically sick at this suggestive toddler t-shirt, and the even more inappropriate write up...

[SaffronCake]

Perhaps Your 2 year old is just a cupcake looking for her stud muffin (so she can kick her legs about all night- WTF)?

Mine sure as hell isn't.

Just kill me now. Even running the risk of an AIBU flaming isn't as bad as this fucking abomination.

Last one i saw was for infants and was 'porn star in training' so i'd say that n was tame in comparison tbh.

Not meaning i think i's right, it's not but there's a trend f them getting worse >

That is pretty bad. I am glad people have made a fuss.

mia What the actual French Connection UK? Oh... My... God...

If you could hear me, I would sound just like Chandler Bing's ex in Friends.

Who buys that?

Well, I had been thinking about registering with Zulily, as some of the girls stuff in the adverts looks cute, but that t-shirt is beyond inappropriate and is so vile I shan't bother.

TheBigJessie, yes the toddler was wearing it, mum thought it was funny. I was pretty much just thinking 'please, no, leave, that's awful' Poor child.

Yes, I'd noticed the ads and thought that the girls' skirts looked sweet and thankfully non-pink / cutesy, but now have a completely different view of the company!

TheBigJessie - yes, thank you, I see what you mean. Something similar about saying "a Muslim / Christian etc child" - I'm with Richard Dawkins in thinking that a small child can't have a religion in any meaningful sense (even if their parents take them to mosque / church and they receive Eid / Christmas presents).

Pornstar in training !

Yep. Have whatever views you want (because I can't stop you [cross face]), but don't use your child as a billboard to publically outline your expectations of them.

This is Jessie's Don't Be A Prat check-list, section C, subsection 3t.

I wont be registering with this site, that is for sure.

I'm amazed that some people don't see this as grotesque. A baby/toddler vest refering to her wanting a hunky man...(which is what I'd think "stud muffin" meant)? Really,suggesting a 2 year old "on the prowl" and able to appreciate a bloke as being sexually attractive....that's OK?

I saw a top in Zara with the slogan "working girl" on it. To me, working girl means hooker. I thought that was pretty grim for a 3-year-old, even if it was a translation-issue, and wrote a complaint letter.

bumperella but how can it be grotesque? It mentions cupcakes! Is that not the definition of cute?

No, it's not grotesque for a 2 year old. It's funny, some people need to take a joke. Not everything is OH MY FUCKING PAEDOMAGEDDON and there are other things to worry about that actually matter.

There are always other things to worry about.

But it doesn't mean you have to turn a blind a blind eye to fucking shite.

i dont think its funny
i think grotesque just about sums it up

really suprised at how many people think its ok

Horrible and not at all funny. Why do people think this is funny?

Nothing funny about sexualising a toddler IMO

I am a bit surprised at how many find this not worthy of complaint.

Of course there are worse things in the world, but MN have been very vocal with their Let Girls Be Girls campaign, against sexualisation of children, and so it is to be expected that a few of us would be appalled by this.

Stud muffin - to me that means a sexually promiscuous young man, and there is absolutely no reason why that should be on a toddler's tshirt.

OP, I agree it's in very bad taste, but just at it like I do.

It's the little things like that which let me know who to avoid when out in the real world.

just look at it like I do.

It's horrible. Who would put a child in that?

But Folk the very fact it's available makes some people think it's acceptable. After all it must have gone through several product or purchasing committees at Zulily - and they aren't all carrying a handy identifying badge.

Mme thank goodness - I couldn't believe that no one had mentioned the Let Girls Be Girls campaign!

Q for MNHQ - do you forward info on that campaign to your newer advertising customers? Has this company signed up?!

Also things like this involving products for sale are among the simplest to protest and change, as it's down to one or two individuals at a company usually. several such campaigns started or participated in by MNers have resulted in eg T shirts trivialising sexual abuse being removed from sale in certain outlets, or in the major supermarkets dropping "men's interest" and "women's interest" sections to "sport" "cookery" "business" etc.

MN is slap bang in Zulilly's target market which is why they advertise here. I hope they will listen to their customers.

I'm more offended by the connotation that all that girl will ever want in life is a 'partner'.
