I've seen worse. Much worse.

I've seen the question raised;"Are parents actually buying this crap?". Short answer...yes, they obviously are. If there weren't parents out there that are buying it, stores wouldn't sell it. Seems simple enough, on the surface.

I'm 44 years old. Somewhat older than the majority of the TFP base. So, maybe it comes as no surprise that I find some pre teen "fashion" to be over the top. I am, after all, the old fuddy duddy here, so I should be expected to complain about "these kids today"...right? But, why, I ask, should I be made to feel...perverted, because my eyes were drawn to the behind of a 14 year old girl, because she has "Angel", or "Hot Stuff" on the butt of her pink sport pants?

I also feel, at least on a base level, that parents that dress thier kids up as little tartlets, lose the right to be aghast that a registered sex offender is living within 6 blocks of said tartlets Junior High School. It seems a bit incongruous, to me.
