So I'm reading this shit on yahoo's website about a t-shirt that had to be pulled off the shelf because consumers (Internet trolls) have found it offensive. It said "I'm too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me". Come on people! Why are we looking into this so much. It's simple: You don't like it, don't buy it! J.C. Penney's had to pull it off the shelf and discontinue all sales of it. Then they released a statement of apology.
People wear a lot stupider shit, trust me. I'm not a fan of the shirts that say "future trophy wife"; so guess what.. MY DAUGHTER WILL NEVER OWN ONE! For children ages 6-16 (which is what this was aimed at) I think that parents should have 90% if not 100% input on what their child should wear. Argue if you want. But that's what I'm sticking with. David & Goliath had a shirt that read "I'm too pretty to do math" that went under fire as well as Forever 21 has one that says "allergic to algebra". Why do we care??
The article that I was reading says it is teaching our kids to lessen their self worth. Let me tell ya, the only people that are buying this shit are people that don't give a shit about their self worth and are passing it on to their kids. Maybe we should start showing more smart celebs on TV as role models instead of these useless whores that are always getting into some trouble AND we just can't wait to see what they will do next... blah!
If this seriously has to do with women showing less interest in the math and science fields, do something about it! Stop cutting school programing, start making things more fun in school. You know perk interest in those fields, instead of paying money for the next brain dead blond to shit out a terrible music CD and so on. All in all this comes down to the parents. Either you are invested in your child showing them whats right and wrong, teaching them where priorities should lay. Or you're not. I think if a child excels at say math, and then wears a shirt as such that they find funny. .. What's the harm? If their grades are falling don't blame the clothes they are wearing, blame yourself.
