Should it be a 'brand' for children? The stationary and clothing is all over the place - should it be readily available (for kids) given it's foundations?

I'm no prude but Playboy outfits for 5 year olds? No

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i dont think kids actually know what it is though, they just think its some cute bunny thing i doubt they will know about the magazine

so yeah its ok imo

[GypsyGoth]

I think there is really something wrong with parents who get playboy stuff for their kids. The children might be better in foster homes.

[Twilight]

I don't see the problem, its not like any kids who wears it are gonna end up being in the magazine, i had something with playboy on it and i'm fine.

My problem isn't at it beING aimed at teens so much. It's the merchandise being aimed at little kids. The pencils and folders and pencil cases right next to 'Hello Kitty' in WH Smiths (example)

So it'd be fine to have "big tits and arses weekly" on some kids jeans?

What kind of stupid parent would think a porn company logo was suitable for their child? That said, there are some spectacularly stupid irresponsible parents out there so doesn't surprise me at all.

They shouldnt even be selling it in childrens outlets. If they are.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

because its just a bunny

infract most of the merchandise doesnt even say playboy, its just a bunny

i can see why you would be against kids using the 'playboy' brand the bunny thing is different imo

doesn't matter what it is...its a symbol for a porn company. Everybody recognises it. And if the child isn't aware of it then they should be told. Otherwises they are endorsing a product unwittingly.

Anyone who thinks that a well known and unmistakeable soft porn logo is appropriate for children because it's "just a bunny" and kids don't know the connection, are missing the point entirely. It's yet another instance of the sexualization of children - paedophiles certainly know what the brand logo denotes, and in their sick and twisted minds they convince themselves that kids are as sexually available as adults. Why not just give the kid a T shirt with "Come and Get Me" printed on it?

Parents who dress their daughters like LA hookers are particularly vile. I blame the likes of hip hop videos that portray all blokes as powerful, macho types, and the women as begging for it *****s. The likes of Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears are now the role models for little girls And don't try and tell me that kids aren't influenced by pop culture - it's the job of a parent to protect and guide, not be a kid's "friend" by allowing them to wear crap like this.

God I would kill myself if I was as unfortunate as your daughter to have a dull boring mother like you.

I've always found it a bit strange that Playboy was such a popular brand among 12/13 year old girls, but I suppose it doesnt carry the same associations as it does for most adults

Got to love the voice of the moral majority, I would be more intent on bannning products that sexualise young children. Padded bras for primary school children etc.

Do you also advocate the boycotting of all of Katie Prices products, her perfume, toys and books as well as childrens clothing, given she was a topless model and has appeared in her own porn movies (somewhat harder porn than the average playboy magazine)?

Of Course it should not be for Children.


but shops that did sell it stopped after the papers showed them up.


Is this in the UK you are talking about?

No.

[Beastie]

A part of me thinks.. Oh it's just a bunny logo.. why should it matter? But suppose the meaning behind it does matter. Imagine being at school with your playboy pencil case. One of your teachers is probably perving over you even more. Ridiculous when I was at school. The "popular" girls with too much makeup and sh!t and trying to bum a teacher who was apparently good looking. I reckon the so called "good looking" teacher wouldn't say no to an offer of a 15 year old girl showing a bit of cleavage!

Anyway.. these products should not even be sold in the children's department. Some merchandising companies may think "oh we are just pinching the logo" but others will think deeper.

I watched a show last night about kids having it all too young. Was on repeat. Oh with the padded bras thing for year 5's to 6's... an argument for it was.. padded bras actually give you more protection to cover up. To protect your breasts more. I can see where that is coming from. I suppose if you put a strappy top and all that underneath people won't notice as much you have bigger breasts. If you put more lairs on then you will just look to have a bigger body rather than bigger breasts.

Anyway children should be children for as long as possible.
