...worn by a 4/5 year old which says "I'm not just any bitch, I'm THE bitch".

Even just reading what I've written I can't believe that I actually saw this.

I saw a 7/8 year old girl with a t-shirt with
'WAG Wannabe' written on it.
That is really sad.

...and we wonder why kids have no respect anymore.....not even for themselves when they grow up wearing things like this. These t-shirts are just plain wrong. Just a shame the parents can't see that.

Not read the whole thread but Tesco has shocked me lately "I want to rock your world" for example.

I like the Nappy Head T-shirts (I'm assuming that's where the Booby Man T-shirts came from) and there are a few in the same vain.

T-shirt Hell

TinkerBellesMum · 12/08/2008 19:59

I love boobies even, I was going to correct that and must have forgot.

VeronicaMars · 12/08/2008 20:00

I don't like them, I saw one with 'I ate my twin' on it.

dp bought ds some babygros from a football club saying "Daddy says when I grow up I'm going to be a footballer" - but the girl's ones said "When I grow up I'm going to be a footballer's wife".

I've a friend who brought her 8 month old son out in a tshirt saying "Lock up your daughters" and I've seen another at a nearly new sale. My dad was shocked by it too (I hope he didn't think I'd buy such a thing).

Shoegazer · 12/08/2008 20:05

Yes justjules I saw a little girl in sainsburys wearing that one. I thought "not if you were my DD!"

Not as bad as the gorgeous blue eyed/blonde haired angel I saw a few years back (she was about three) with Porn Star 69 on hers.

Whizzz · 12/08/2008 20:11

How about this one !

weeonion · 12/08/2008 20:14

meggle - i have seen baby vests (aged 0-3 mths + up) with porn star on it.

also seen a t-shirt saying "i am the littlest lolita".

ScottishMummy · 12/08/2008 20:15

i dont like thisbut know it's popular

NutterlyUts · 12/08/2008 20:21

Shane Ritchie's new baby is called lolita.....

Megglevache · 12/08/2008 20:23

Weeonion Fucking hell. (I don't normally say that)

I am beyond shocked!

3andnomore · 12/08/2008 20:39

Well, of Custardos link, the only one that amused me a bt was "make Poopy not war"...but at the rest of them.

And the Slogan OP mentioned totally inaapropriate and horrible

I am not generally against slogans...I think sometimes they can be cute( along the lines "you can't see me but you can hear me)...but not that kind of slogan....shudder....

picklepie555 · 12/08/2008 20:42

I'm shocked at some of these, some people must have a terrible sense of humour if they think its funny or clever to put these on their kids....poor kids.

FAQ you said -

.....whats the general consensus on this, I've bought a top with 'here comes trouble' on it as a present for someone's baby, it didn't even cross my mind that would be offensive.... should I take it back do you think?

TinkerBellesMum · 12/08/2008 20:44

I like "here comes trouble"! Mum made my brother a jumper when we were little with it on.

FAQ · 12/08/2008 20:48

I love DS3 in his - I put in on him on Sunday and it was very apt - someone had to take him out for a walk in his pushchair for 80% of the service, as I was at the organ, he was supposed to be in the creche - but wanted to run around the main body of the church and when stopped howled loudly hardly pausing for breath - even me playing as loud as I possibly could, and the congregation singing louder than usual couldn't mask his howl of digust.

When he was brought back in his he was fast asleep looking the picture of innoncence

fishie · 12/08/2008 20:53

i think i win. with the babygro i saw in covent garden the other day.....

"I'm with the MILF"

solidgoldbrass · 12/08/2008 20:59

I like them on babies (the more outrageous the better just because it's such fun to wind up the horsehair-tampon types who always come shrieking onto threads like these) though I think the majority of the really wild slogans are bought as wind-up presents and unlikely to be worn by actual DC.
I am less keen on sloganny t-shirts for over-5s who should be expected to have some say in the matter ie not to be the inadvertent butt of a joke only adults really understand (though if a kid finds it funny and gets it and wants to wear it, fair enough).

But really, youknow. Get over yourselves. NO one is forcing you to buy anything other than bloody Laura Ashley if the thought gives you the vapours.

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 12/08/2008 21:01

I did do a little giggle at Custardo's link for "recently evicted" and "my other car seat is in a porsche"

ElfOnTheTopShelf · 12/08/2008 21:05

What may be offensive for one may not be offensive for another.
I may have upset passerbys in the past by putting my DD in a tee-shirt that my sister bought for me, it was a picture of Sloth and they Hey You Guys slogan from The Goonies because for about a month I'd drempt that I gave birth to Sloth.
For slogan shirts, I quite like the "spit on that tissue and I'll call social services" ones you can get on dribble factory, but at £13 a shirt plus P&P I wouldn't buy it!

youcannotbeserious · 12/08/2008 21:12

Elf... my DH wants me to buy a 'my other car is a porsche' sign...

Wants me to put it in my jeep....

Thinks it's funny because our other car is a porsche...
#Haven't seen the car seat ones, but would get one if I saw it.

mamalovesmojitos · 12/08/2008 21:17

YANBU

some of the above are funny. but lolita? PORN STAR????? WTF?????

i am so .

sherbetdipdab · 12/08/2008 21:23

I saw a photo of one of Kerry Katona's daughters wearing a t-shirt saying 'BUY ME STUFF!' on it and I thought

I think some of them are funny but NO WAY would I buy them or dress DS in any of them.

But I also wouldn't wear any of the adult ones, you know the ones that say 'Babe' or something? I keep imaging people having a good laugh to themselves if I wore one. And you do see women wearing them and think 'Really?!?!' or maybe thats just me?

I did laugh when I saw a guy wearing one that said 'Bring Back Hairy Muffs' though
