“I’ve done **** all today” (Apologies there is a point to this thread)

Am I mad for been shocked at this?

Went to the Great British Beer Festival last night at Earl’s court where there are various stalls selling things.

One was selling baby clothes (I know, I don’t quite get who goes to a beer festival and then wants to buy baby clothes) and on one outfit for 9 to 12 months was printed “I’ve done **** all today” in large letters.

Well just that it wasn’t 4 asterisk it was a word that rhymes with duck and starts with a f.

Seriously am I nuts? What sort of person would put an outfit like that on a 9 to 12 month kid?

Interesting choice of words for a baby's t-shirt! However, I was listening to a talk recently about socially acceptable language and, apparently, the f word has lost its "shock impact" and is becoming socially acceptable. Gordon Ramsey was cited as one of the reasons for this!

Having lived in Japan I have seen worse t-shirts on children - however the parents were clearly oblivious (since they did not understand English). I saw a girl, around 10 years old, in Nara Train Station with her parents wearing a white t-shirt with huge black capital letters reading "I LIKE TO MASTUR***E IN THE EVENINGS" (minus the stars). :eek:

You should get on to the Daily Mail, they'd get a full-page story out of that, OP. You're right to be shocked - it's pretty offensive in anyone's book, I'd say. There was an outcry a few years ago when Next and other high street stores were selling kids T shirts that said things like 'Sexy', '100% b!!!h' and 'Tease' on them.

I was googling to find the details, couldn't find it, but came across this news story from New zealand. So it's not just a fad over here, I'm afraid:

Child advocates have slammed a risque range of baby clothes that created a storm of controversy in Australia and are now on sale in New Zealand.
The T-shirts and suits are on sale in Australian chain Cotton On Kids’ 17 Kiwi stores and feature slogans including “I’m a tits man”, “The condom broke”, “I’m living proof my mum is easy” and “Mummy likes it on top”.

Okay, not as bad as the F word, but not nice. You have to think what dressing your kids like this says about the parents though.

I saw a baby wearing a t shirt that said something like "my mummy should have swallowed" once

Some of those are pretty bad but the first one's quite funny I think.

And people buy these? Some people really should not have children....

Would you then buy one for your kid or a friend's kid?

Don't be silly. You know they'd spell it "Chellsi"
