Taking "prostitot" to a whole new level:
Kid-magnet chains, including Limited Too and Abercrombie Kids, as well as discount stores such as Target are focusing their marketing efforts on a much younger demographic, luring young girls into ensembles that in years past had been reserved for their teenage sisters.
GapKids recently featured a white, crocheted string bikini you'd likely see Anna Kournikova wearing on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. The bikini was for a 12-month-old.
A company with as big of a market as The Gap would not be making these if they thought there was no market for them. The market speaks and companies listen, after all. It would be interesting to do a test of customers from The Gap. Stand outside the store, and ask them how they would feel about people who patronized a store that sold string bikinis for toddlers. Then show them, when they have their The Gap bags in hand, that they just patronized a store that is aiding and abetting child molestation.
There was an SNL sketch that was a commercial for thongs for babies. Art precedes reality, I guess.
And it can do so with a disturbing degree of accuracy and sense of things from the future.
What are these people thinking?!?
Love the term "prostitot", btw.
I can't claim credit for coining it, unfortunately.
