Extremely offensive baby products on Amazon by brand Fonfella

[smithereen]

I came across this product on Amazon whilst looking for baby clothes: www.amazon.co.uk/WANTED-BLOWJOB-BABYGROW-Months-SLEEVE/dp/B00D90UJ4U/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1374869417&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=baby+grow+all+daddy+wanted
I'm obviously concerned that this has slipped through the net at Amazon and sure its hard for them to monitor everything, but this is beyond the pale. More importantly though, I'm totally shocked that British company Fonfella could come up with this product in the first place. I've raised a complaint with Amazon, but some moral support would be great! Feel free to follow up with Fonfella too:

I don't think it was Amazon who pulled the product.

Oh you're right. I didn't think of Fonfella pulling it.

Did the link in OP actually work for anyone this afternoon?

Its still on their website though

shop.fonfella.com/babygrow-range-169-c.asp

Yes that link was working.

There's more than one company selling it too

I expect they pulled it because there were some adverse 'customer' comments.

This is one of our best selling babygrows so obviously there are a lot of parents who find the humour that this product is intended to bring.

Fonfella0 I am interested to know whether it is actually parents or their humourious (sic) acquaintances who buy these products. Do you have any figures to support your statement that "there are a lot of parents ... "

Just so we're clear, I think these slogans are tasteless, but that's fine, it's the fact you have chosen to put them on children's clothing that is wrong. What's more, just because it sells well doesn't mean it's right to sell it.

I just reviewed this tshirt for Amazon as follows: This tshirt is perfect for sexualizing tiny babies and is especially good if the baby was unwanted in the first place. Hopefully the baby will be able to look back on photos of him/herself and laugh uproariously at how hilarious this is.

I'm just imagining a situation in which a 7 year old asks what a blow job is because they've seen it written on a baby.
Nope, nothing wrong with that at all Natalie.....

or, even better, LittleRed, they might ask what a MILF is

I don't even want to think about the possibility that my children might read that on another's child's clothing. It really is too hideous to contemplate.

Little experiment, ask your partners (or if you don't have one handy, just ask the nearest man) what they think of it. You know, men with their dirtier sense of humour, maybe they have a different view...

My husband just said "No, not on a baby"

I didn't know about this website until just now... Thanks for the heads up.
There are other offensive babygros on there including one about 'midgets'
I will never use this website.......

Web-shite!
«giggles at own hilariousness»

No really, what a tacky nasty morally devoid company...

Fonfella - you said 'If it said "I (being the baby) will give you a blow job" then fair enough - but it doesn't.'

So your slogan ''I'm with the mum I'd like to f*ck' is ok?

Terms such as MILF are derived from pornography and have found there way into popular culture and here it is in a baby clothing range. If you look at the term sexualisation on Wikipedia it mentions pornification:

The terms 'pornification' and ?pornographication? have also been used to describe the way that aesthetics that were previously associated with pornography have become part of popular culture, and that mainstream media texts and other cultural practices ?citing pornographic styles, gestures and aesthetics? have become more prominent.

You can get 'sex instructor first lesson free' on a t shirt for a 3 year old. How classy & humorous. :sense of humour failure:

By the time I read this thread the product has been pulled so I had a look at the manufacturer's website. Some of their other babygros, while not as offensive, are just unfunny and tasteless - here

And these are their kids T-shirts.
I shan't be giving them my business.

There are always the Bottom Feeders who will cater to the Lowest Common Denominator

This brand is one of them

How distasteful

I hope Fonfella (or Natalie) learns a lesson from this, but hey, who knows ? The thick shit's pound is worth as much as the next man's.

The MILF product is still on Amazon..

I think milf on a baby outfit is even worse than a comment about a blowjob, thou both are awful. They need "the person who bought me this is a fuckwit" one.

I would never buy these, but if there are people about who find it funny, surely it is their right to do so. Makes it easier for the rest of us to spot the idiots!

Its not particularly funny in my opinion, but i cannot see why people are outraged.

Amazon is a business. It surely is up to them what they stock, and only up to you what you buy

The world will not end, and society will carry on exactly as normal, whether or not someone puts a non funny, vaguely offensive tshirt on their baby.

BUT WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN?

Well y'knnow, if it saves just one baby from having to wear an offensive tshirt, then its worth it. God bless you all

Vaguely offensive?

well yes. Or should i say, subjectively offensive.
