Wow, not much I can add to this. As a red-blooded 19yr old male I love a woman in a thong. I wish there was a way to encourage more women to wear thongs. However, the thought "starting them young" is just creepy. Little girls should not be wearing things like this. Padded bras and gstrings on a 9 year old? Ugh, the thought just makes me horrible that someone would allow their child to wear such things.
I also agree that the school has no business restricting these girl's choice of underewear though. It is not the school's, network television's, the government's, or anyone's job to raise someone's children. It is the parent's job. Parents should not expect people to do their job for them. I hate then I see something on the news or in the paper, complaining like "how could the school let them do this" or "how could they show that on tv". If these people would monitor what their kids did then this wouldn't be an issue.
On the business issue. While I think a business should be run on a supply/demand basis almost all of the time I think there should be some kind of moral integrity somewhere along the line if not for anything except brand loyalty and image. If Walmart had a rack in their dvd section for bondage films that would probably upset consumers and probably turn some away. Yet, when it comes down to them blaming the businesses is just another way of passing the blame around the table. Blame MTV, blame Old Navy, blame Britney Spears; it does nothing. If you're a parent and you are upset about your 9yr old wearing a gstring and a push up bra then you've got no one to blame except yourself.
Although the scariest part of all this are the parents who have no problem with their 9 year old wearing such items. Sadly though you can't do anything except complain.
