Disney underpants cause a stir

ON, YOU are not 10. the fact that you get on here and try to pretend that you are 10 makes me think you are a bit warped. I'm not saying that SOME 10 year olds don't "know" about sex, I am saying your are not 10.

When I was the age they are targeting, my panties were plain colors or stripes, there were no words. I don't see any difference in the phrase on these and ones that say "Super". Everything can be taken out of context. Most are saying that it is inviting a pedophile, I think if a pedophile is after your child he doesn't care what her undies say.

i am a parent of an 8 yr old. if i would have noticed that on her undies, i wouldn't have thought anything but that it had to do with the pool in the movie. we have both high school musical movies so nothing else would have been though of.

Who's gonna be looking at a little girls panties while she has them on anyway.

personnaly, I don't purchase anything from Diseny. This company (in my view) is only about $$$'s and not family values. They sell attitude, mini sex apeal and cheap toys.

The phraze "dive in" would only be approved by someone without children, an immature manager or a pig. This had to be approved by someone on the "management team"...my guess is it is an immature manager.

what is really sad is that the first thing that came to the mind of a GRANDMOTHER was that the wording had a SEXUAL CONNOTATION.

I was in the Disney store a few years ago and they had underwear that said, 100% fine. The oversexualization of children has been going on for a long time.

What were they thinking anyway??? Another thing I don't understand is why when I was walking through Walmart the other day, I see a little girls "padded" push up bra. What are they thinking????

Disney needs to take a proactive approach to preventing the media's sexualization of our young girls. Between Bratz dolls, the everlasting "Barbie" image, anorexia etc. our girls grow up feeling the only value they have is in their bodies and allowing themselves to be victimized. Clothes manufacturers are promoting push up bras and thongs to 8 year olds!! There's even a company out there selling pink "pole dancing kits" complete with garters and fake money - that demographic? 6 year olds!!! Good book to read about all of this - "The Lolita Effect" - It's shocking what we sit back and become numb to and our young girls are paying the price.

Honestly? High School Musical UNDERWEAR?!?!?!?!?! Haven't they taken these movies a LITTLE too far?
As for the message on them, probably a oversight. The creaters probably didn't even think about any double meanings, they just thought kids would like it! Disney recalls the undies, problem solved.

I don't think the issue is just who might read the undies. The message is sent to the child who is wearing them. She will read the words "dive in" and while it may seem "innocent" I think the message is viewed as "ok." It sets kids up to take this kind of message in stride, but as the hormones kick in, some kids do use this kind of talk to sexualize things. It just isn't a good idea.

I remember several years ago ... my sister-in-law was wearing "Guess" on her t-shirt. My husband said to her "34B?" ... My dad just laughed because he said that people who wear stuff like that are begging to be "noticed" but offended when they are ... Our whole society needs to just grow up. A 30 year old woman should know better, but we are training them early.

I am not suprised at the reaction I have always known that most human
beings keep their mind on sex or in the gutter. It was an honest
mistake - their mind wasn't in the gutter or thinking about sex all
the time like the majority of human beings.

Wow.....whatever happened to plain ole Underoos????? Those caused no fuss and there was absolutely nothing sexual about them, yet kids loved them.

How about another option, leave them on the shelf and buy your kid the white cotton panties that are the source of all pedophiles dreams. Grow up, you don't need to complain about every dang thing, Vote with your wallet and move on. All you alarmist parents are just going to raise wild teens that want to try everything their mommies never let them do! Some common sense people and your dirty minds!

If you take a look around the little girls' underwear department in most popular stores these "inappropriate" Disney panties would not surprise you. They are trying to sell skimpy bikini panties and padded push-up bras to pre-teens. And yes, I understand all about kids being curious about the things their parents make a big fuss over, so I try very hard not to. But honestly, it is sometimes a nightmare shopping with my 12 and 10 year olds because the age appropriate clothing seems to be far out-numbered by the skanky stuff.

Can we find sexual innuendo in EVERYTHING?
Then by all means, let's not let our 7 year old girls eat bananas.
They might get the wrong idea.
Who planned that obscene fruit anyway?
Jeeeeeeeeeezzz.

Come on people seriously. This is the dumbest thing I have heard of in my life. Who is going to see a 7 year olds panties besides her parents. Who cares what they say. People really need to get a life. I can not believe this is even news.
