There's outrage in the U.K. over a pair of panties marketed by Disney. One pair of the cotton knits, sold in packs of four, plays on a central theme of the movie "High School Musical" -- a swimming pool. But the double-entendre is too much for one British grandma to bear.
The offending underpants passage?
"Dive In!"
Yeah, that's kind of creepy wording for a little girl to be wearing on her underthings, especially since they come as small as size 4 (up to 12).
Disney responded to customer complaints about the undies, saying it was an oversight and that "Dive In!" would not appear on any future movie products. From the Daily Mail:
A Disney spokeswoman said: 'We are very sorry to hear that a customer is unhappy with one of our High School Musical products and apologise for any offence caused.
'Unfortunately a genuine oversight was made and the text on this product was used outside the context of the swimming pool. This product will not be part of any forthcoming collections.'
What do you think? Intolerable prudishness on behalf of consumers or sexualization of young girls? Me? I hate it all.
