If this does not disgust you in the first place, read to the end. See what is being pulled from the toy section.
Funny and disgusting at once.
The British clothing chain Primark, responding to scathing criticism from politicians and children's groups, has withdrawn its sale of a line of padded bikini for girls as young as seven, the BBC reports.
The bikini sets, which sold for around $9, came in candy pink with gold stars and black with white polka dots, the BBC says.
The company apologized to customers for "causing offense" and said it would donate profits to a children's charity, the BBC says.
Primark's initial offering of the item seems to reflect the philosophy still noted on its Web site:
Every girl wants to look her best and at Primark we make no exception for the younger ladies, all the high fashion trends can be found in our Girlswear section, no matter what age you are.
Britain's Children's Society blasted the chain for "premature sexualization and unprincipled advertising," The Times reports.
The issue even became fodder for Britain's parliamentary election campaign, with Prime Minister Gordon Brown criticizing companies for "pushing our kids into acting like little grown-ups" and Conservative leader David Cameron calling the affair "disgraceful."
RIGHT HERE::
The Times says it is not the first such incident, noting that Tesco decided to withdraw a pole-dancing kit from its toy section.

Well, I did once find out that somehow I had fathered Black Diamond. It was a rough patch in my life that took some time to get over, but after all those hours of therapy, I figured I had put that in its place. Maybe not... Oh, and Norm once touched me in a way that was totally inappropriate.
