I don't know , maybe I'm losing my sense of humour but sometimes seemingly innocuous things really annoy me . Take the other day in Tesco ; as I passed by the stand of little pinkie-pretty baby bits suddenly I was all narrow eyes and teeth on edge .They were selling sets of 2 little tops - age 6 to 9 months , the front one was pink and had a slogan : "Does my bum look big in this ?"
Just what are we saying here ? Is it harmlessly ha-ha funny , or insidious stereo typing clap-trap ??? I thought the latter ; wholly inappropriate in a way you could produce a university thesis about !! (let's reinforce body image insecurity while they're young heh ?) I didn't see any blue tops saying "How's my hairline looking?" I would like to think that on the other side it actually said "Well duh ; I'm wearing a nappy (as I'm an infant who the heck would care about the size of my posterior - idiot !) "
I'll just have to file it in a list of Most Crass Things Someone Thought You Might Buy (Not).
Excuse me I'm feeling too serious - I need to go and find something genuinely inane to laugh at !!

Must agree with you ... why would anyone want to do that to gorgeous wee baby girls? Lazy marketing. Hmph.
