Bikini's for toddlers

OSLO (Reuters) - A Swedish bikini-style top for toddlers will be withdrawn from sale amid criticism from a Norwegian cabinet minister that bra-like clothing was inappropriate for small girls.

"It is remarkably daft to make bra-like bikinis for one-year-olds," Norwegian Minister of Children and Family Affairs Laila Daavoey was quoted as telling the Norwegian daily Verdens Gang Thursday.

"This is a terrible commercialization of childhood. Children are not women. Bikinis on small children are a way of linking children to sexuality. We must say 'No' to this," she said.

Swedish clothes maker Lindex said it would withdraw one design of top, meant for girls aged 1-2, after an internal review.

"It's a bit too similar to an adult top so we are choosing to withdraw it," spokeswoman Ulrika Danielson told Norway's NRK public radio. She said the decision was made independently of the Norwegian criticism.

Earlier this month, Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik criticized Swedish furniture maker IKEA for showing few women assembling flat-packed goods in cartoon instruction leaflets. IKEA agreed to depict more women.

Norway is celebrating 100 years of independence from Sweden in 2005.

Frankly, I could care less if a kid wore that, or for that matter, the parent that let the kid wear that.

I would look at the people raising all this fuss about it, though. They're the latent pervs that worry me.

I think it's disgusting that mothers dress their 6 year old girls up as little beauty queen whores. And that makes ME the perv?!

Typical politician. Seriously. Too few women assembling in the instructions? These sorts of people need to f'ing DIE.

What makes you the perv is downloading the pictures on the internet and whacking off to them.

Who cares? It's their kid, and yes it's a problem if they push it to a point where the kid develops self-image issues. But ultimately, it's their business if the parents decide to shell out their hard-earned cash for skimpy clothing that's prolly using up 1/8 of other clothing. Worry about it if the parents are trying to pimp their 1~2 year olds (That would surely piss me off), but until then, I don't see the problem, nor do I care.

Personally, I prefer the "more for my money" theory (well, I *do* ashop at places like AE, so maybe not), but it's their damn business. As much as it is mine when I decide not to (thankfully) go into victoria's secret to get clothes for me there.
 
Two pieces for little girls are ok just as long as they are 'cute' and don't look like they belong in a Hawaiian Tropic swimsuit competition. What did the bathing suits this Swedish company market look like?
 
I love the last line of the article. That's like me writing a whole article on the new style of car that Chevy is coming out with and then tossing in "And I ate at Wendy's for lunch today" at the last line...

Your's isn't the same style that the story is about. The story is about tops that have defined boobage triangles.

The funny thing is A) the IKEA instructions suck anyways and B) the reason they went with cartoon drawings is because they were being politically correct and not picking one language over another.

That's a weird thing to say.

 
I always laugh when I see small kids at the pool wearing two piece bathing suits. WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU GET THAT FOR A LITTLE KID?! The one piece ones are much easier for them to keep on and be active in. So silly...
