Moral Engrish
In a remarkable hat-tip (you know, for a propaganda organ of Der Chimperor), enjoy Feministing’s post on Wal-Mart’s disgusting sexualization of America’s young daughters:
Suggestive pink Santa panties targeting young girls are being removed from Wal-Mart stores after parents objected to the offensive undergarments.
The panties, which were sold in the juniors department, seemed to suggest that girls don’t need money, they just need a sugar daddy — in this case Santa Claus.
The hipster briefs — carrying the slogan “Who needs credit cards …” on the front and “When you have Santa” on the derriere — caused an uproar among parents, who called for the $2.96 drawers to be pulled off the racks.
These panties were intended for a domestic, English-speaking market, right? Or is the whoredom of this culture more “advanced” than I had feared —and such messages are now just part of the noise that deafens the soul?
Wal-Mart doesn’t understand this, but their choice in marketing and profiting from this sort of degeneracy is as morally repugnant to me as though these were burkas. And that’s what they are: grade school snatch hijabs.
Our culture is positively schizoid about the wimmins, though. That’s for damned sure. We’re a lot of John Mark Karrs and Patsy Ramseys chasing after JonBenet. A lot of lip service is paid to the safety of children, but the parents are either clueless or complicit about their girls’ habits: the drinking, the oral sex, the internet thing, the general vulgarity of their language, dress, and character, etc. It’s heartbreaking.
I do hope for the day that I will be a father, but things like this worry me.
