Would anyone actually put this on their child?

all daddy wanted was a blow job

Shock

I'm fairly unshockable, but on this words fail me

Can anyone persuade me there's a funny side?

Vile.

LadyApricot · 26/02/2013 23:25

Horrible!

ProPerformer · 26/02/2013 23:28

Ok, I'm someone who many say has a vile and inappropriate sense of humour - but even I think that is shocking!!

YouTheCat · 26/02/2013 23:29

I have seen these online but have never actually seen any kid wearing one.

squeakytoy · 26/02/2013 23:33

my god.. I am fairly open minded, but that is just utterly gross.

sadly, there are some people who will think it funny... (the type who go on jeremy kyle and see it as a badge of honour)

I don't know what has me pearl clutching more, emblazoning blow job on you baby or the whole daddy didn't really want me, he wanted a blow job and got landed with me.

But I mean they wouldn't make it if they couldn't sell it to someone, would they?

I was just browsing for next size up clothes, now I'm pondering the state of humanity --again-/

speechless. Just wrong

KB02 · 26/02/2013 23:38

Horrible, I was looking for the report button !

HopAndSplash · 26/02/2013 23:39

162 sold :O

I don't even get how it relates to a baby anyway? "All daddy wanted was a shag" While equally as disgusting, would relate to accidentally having a baby, but whats a blowjob got to do with anything!? So so disgusting to sexualise a childs clothing like that Sad

SashaSashays · 26/02/2013 23:40

I think it's quite funny. I don't know if I'd put mine in one, maybe just at home or with friends who I know would laugh. Not for going out as it wouldn't be nice for those who find it offensive.

It's the kind of thing DHs friends might buy for us or I would buy as a joke for my brother when he's had children. Obviously I'd buy something nice as well but this caused me to smile so I think my friends would laugh.

Phosphene · 26/02/2013 23:43

Horrible.

I went to Vegas and they had baby vesta with 'I am what happened in Vegas' written on it...

Slainte · 26/02/2013 23:43

Witha I saw a pic of one of those the other day too, I was Shock

Bogeyface · 26/02/2013 23:46

Its the sort of thing that single childless men would buy their mates baby "fer a laff". At least, I hope they are the only people who would buy it.....

squeakytoy · 26/02/2013 23:51

I cant see a problem with the Vegas one..

Sasha Shock. Really wow! Maybe we're just taking it too literally. Doesn't the suggestion that dc was a mistake and daddy would have preferred a blow job bother you.
Are you someone who often finds humour in especially controversial things?
I hope you don't take that as an attack, I'm trying to get my head round the idea that someone sold 162 of these.
I used to know someone who thought it was hysterically funny when children swore, precisely because it was so wrong and offended people so much. Is this on a similar track?

Daddy's little squirt is marginally funnier. Though I can't imagine putting my kid in that either. It is at least vaguely opaque.

SomethingProfound · 26/02/2013 23:57

Are these intended for actual use, or as gag gifts that you would never in a million years put on your DC?

Or perhaps I'm just trying to rationalise its production.

GazpachoSoup · 27/02/2013 00:13

No, seriously, not nice. I'm all for cute slogans and dressed mine up in some silly little things like Christmas slogans "mummy's little pudding" Grin
That, though?! Horrible. No way.

SashaSashays · 27/02/2013 00:16

I think you're right in saying that you're taking it too literally. But to be technical, it says wanted, not preferred and I think it suggests the dc was an accident as opposed to a mistake. Maybe these are popular with those who have an accidental pregnancy.

I wouldn't say I'm 'one of those people' as I don't find humour especially in controversial things, although I do tend to see a funny side to almost everything, including children swearing. Maybe I just find it funny because most of my DC are the result of DH just wanting a shag. We have made jokes about this kind of thing, it often comes up as we have 5 DC and people might joke about not having a telly etc, so when I was pregnant again DH might joke he was only trying to get his leg over.

I just think of it as being a bit like when my DC are running wild and I say to my friend with 1 child to save herself and not have any more. I have been known to come home to the house being a bomb site, DC going manic and comment that they would be the most successful advert for contraception, doesn't mean anything other than a jokey comment.

GlitterySkulls · 27/02/2013 01:36

that is horrible- and tacky.

DH showed me a pic of a mate's baby's changing mat on facebook the other day, it had something along the lines of "9 months ago, mummy & daddy read 50 shades of grey"- just eurgh!

IneedAsockamnesty · 27/02/2013 01:45

Horrible.

Perhaps those 163 people all thought they were buying socks.

MidnightMasquerader · 27/02/2013 01:45

I know of somebody on another forum who bought one of these for her DD. Hmm She was popular on the forum, and everyone thought it was 'hilarious'. A bunch of middle class mothers, not dissimilar from the MN demographic, thought it was hilarious. Well, they kindly said they did, anyway.

I thought she was an idiot, and so following the 'if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all' school of thought, just rolled my eyes and kept schtum.

I can see the joke, as it were. It's monetarily snigger-worthy. But would I pay good money for it and put it on my child? Christ, no. It's desperately uncouth...

KeatsiePie · 27/02/2013 07:26

Sasha you guys sound lovely and so happy.

Er, back on topic, I wouldn't buy it, mainly b/c I wouldn't want my kid to hear it/think it. But then I think about how my parents were rather prim and I'm not sure it was so good for us. [wavers] No. I wouldn't buy it. I think a joke among friends/family is fine but to print it and put it on the kid is too much.

pigletmania · 27/02/2013 08:12

Grim

Spice17 · 27/02/2013 10:15

Emblazoning the word 'blow job' on your baby - nice. Urgh, just urgh.

Not very shockable but I find this absolutely abhorrant.
