"Future Porn Star" T-Shirts For Toddlers. No, I'm Not Kidding.

Posted by Alisyn

And I thought the  "wink, wink" underwear were the pinnacle of tastelessness.

New Zealand designer Francis Hooper, of World fashion, says he thought he was being "humorous and irreverent," when he designed a t-shirt, to be marketed to parents of toddlers, with the words "Future Porn Star" on the front.  The line of toddler shirts also includes a "Parents Are Boring" shirt, as well as one that reads "I Have Issues."  Hopper admits that the "Future Porn Star" model is "the most naughty and risque."

Almost as disgusting as this ill-conceived design?  The shirt's suggested retail price of $45 freaking dollars.

I'm so disgusted by this story, on so many levels, that I can't even find the words to express how I feel.  I just can't. 

But if you have a thing or two to say to the company producing, and standing behind this product, you can contact their media person here

Let's face it Aly, the proof is in the market with stuff like this. Will it sell? One hopes, that it will not, because like you no one out there (even in jest) envisions there 3 year old cutie who romps nudey cutie through the house as a future porn star. Even if we muttered it jokingly to our spouses watching her dance tushie bear of deep rooted concern for her future tushie shaking days as an adult, we aren't advertising it to anyone. LOL. No worries, they will pull it for lack of sales. I worry more for a mommy or daddy who would buy one for their kid. Yikes.

I wouldn't buy it - that's just going too far.

I would imagine people that would though - that's pretty scary.

I would rather have my kid wearing that than a Brittany t-shirt.  At least the porn-stars have talent.

Unfortunately I don't think it will lack sales...I've seen leather miniskirts in toddler sizes.  Who buys leather for someone who isn't potty trained!?!  

Baby-slut has been a growing style the last few years.
