Pornographic clothing

I've name changed for this because I've ranted about this to everyone who will listen.

Today I made a complaint about a clothing display in a blokes clothing shop. A stand right at the front of the shop which opens in to the main avenue of a shopping centre. On the stand were several sweatshirts each with an image on the front made to look like the cover of a porn mag. A naked young woman squatting with her legs wide apart, nipples covered by text but I think her vagina had just been blurred out. The sweatshirts were hanging at child's eye level, I know this because I had a child with me and they were at his eye level.

I collared a store assistant and at first and pointed out that it wasn't great to hang porn right in the faces of kids, he did move them but I don't know where.

The AIBU bit is this. WIBU to request that these sweaters be moved. And AIBU to think there needs to be common sense about displaying sweatshirts with these sorts of pictures on. If magazines with the same image have to be displayed on the top shelf, I don't see why sweatshirts where the images are much much bigger, should be allowed to be hung in at eye-level and in plain view of any passing child.

[Message from MNHQ - some of the links posted on this thread contain t-shirts with fairly graphic images.]

Szeli If men want to complain about he objectification of their own sex, they have mouths that can speak and hands that can type or write a letter. Women are not the moral and ethical guardians of the human race.

As you say, adverts of half naked men where pulled this week, as we're the same ones showing a half naked woman. See, equality in action for you.
