Have u got any of these sort of T-Shirts in your wardrobe?
Thursday January 17, 2007
Fashion retailer Jays Jays will remove its Miss Bitch and Mr Well-hung T-Shirts from window displays after a New Zealand lobby group complained they were being marketed to children.
The Family First New Zealand lobby group claimed the shirts - which carry slogans including Miss Bitch, Miss Wasted, Miss Floozy, Mr Well-hung, Mr Asshole and Mr Pimp - sexualised teenagers and young children.
"We should not be subjecting them to adult concepts, experiences or identity before they are mature enough to cope with them," said Family First director Bob McCoskrie.
Just Group managing director Jason Murray acknowledged the Little Losers range had caused concern in some sections of the community, saying it "has been interpreted as contrary to the Jay Jays brand essence of youthful fun, energy, value and realism".
He said Jays Jays would immediately take all Little Losers shirts out of window displays in all Australian and New Zealand stores and would not restock any shirts that carry alcohol-related messages or sexual innuendos.
But Mr Murray denied the Little Losers range of shirts was targeted at children.
"The range is only available in adult sizes and the advertising has been placed in magazines that are intended to be read by young adults," he said.
"This range is meant to be lighthearted and the motifs do not promote bad behaviour, do not poke fun at other people and merely mock the wearer."
Some of those T-Shirts slogans could be offensive to Young People.  |
