Of course the kids themselves won't be aware of the connotations attached to the brand logo, but the stupid parents and other adults sure are - that's the point. Why would you want to dress your child in anything that had any connection to a lad's mag?

Yeah, it's a bit strange, I'd be mortified if my 10 year old daughter was walking around wearing playboy stuff

I agree, no way would I have let my kids wear that kind of stuff, or g-strings, they have them for small girls, its wrong.
Now to be blunt, I only see the chavvy families let their kids wear them sort of clothes.

He is a right old perve with all those young girls and yet hardly anyone thinks its wrong, even had their own tv program!! He has made so much money out of that rabbit though.

I have mixed feelings on this issue....First reaction is it seems a no brainer in other words NO Children should not be exposed to the brand name of Playboy even if they don't know what it means but some day they will find out.....

Second train of thought is that here in Britain we are plagued by prudish mentalities and censorship mania......Most of which is not any where near as harmfull as some usually of a religious source claim........Take a look at many countries which are far more anti censorship than Britain and their children seem to grow up perfectly stable an unharmed compared to Britain with its high abortion rates and sexual activity of the underaged......

In Britain polititions love to blame the sex industry for children going wild.........I bet any amount of money that if it were possible to ban all forms of porn off the internet and other media. The children of Britain would still be as some are now experimenting with sexual activity far to young.

When I was 12 years old a long long time ago with no internet and no porn available to the young (It was a crime to own in those days). Guess what children were experimenting with sex at the back of the old bike sheds or where ever......Girls got pregnant but were hidden away.........It all happened just like now but was not seen

Our political moralists who think nudity and a bit of erotics is harmful had better look elsware as for decades they have and are barking up the wrong tree....

The main moral decline attitudes does not come about as a result of porn it come from TV soaps and series that broadcast story lines with one night stands and swapping partners at will. Broadcast before the watershed for all ages to pick up the moral attitudes portraid as being the way life should be.......That is where the bloody harm to our youngsters really comes from.......

Footnote: Families who are genuin nudists raise their children to accept nudity as perefectrly normal and not disgusting.......

Now the problem with the playboy brand is that it can be relatively mild pinup stuff right up to down right hard core.......

Ignoring the morality, I just find the brand tacky. I don't think girls buy it because it's dirty, but because it's cool. It's a sign of the glamourisation of adulthood towards children (seen in makeup, padded bras, I think poledancing classes...) - sad, tacky but not the root of the problem.

Its a matter of personal perception. I find football sad and tacky but it would be wrong of me to claim that is actually is.....It's just my perception like your feelings towards playboy is your perception but like my perception cannot be claimed as a fact...........Each to their own really.....

Playboy is not porn. You guys have topless models in your MAINSTREAM magazines. At least Playboy is only sold to 18+.

You guys prolly consider Michelangelo a pedo.

The human body is art. (well...some human bodies. Less and less these days with the obesity epidemic)

There is very big difference between magazines sold to over 18s and Michelangelo's David.

What kind of pictures do you think Michelangelo would take if cameras were invented? You think he'd be photographing flowers or mountains?? i don't think so.

Irony, somehow I dont think so

Juxtaposition, definately not.
