Inappropriate ‘High School Musical’ Panties Upset Parents

It's not surprising that High School Musical promotes itself by making clothes, but it is surprising that the words "Dive In" appear on the front of a new style of underpants for 7-year-old girls. Naturally, parents are upset because they find the underwear sexually suggestive. (The phrase refers to a scene in the movie where kids dive into a pool.) The undergarments are sneakily packaged, too: The words "Dive In" aren't visible until the underwear is out of its packaging, which we imagine only furthers the anger/irritation factor for parents.

A spokesperson for Asda, the company that makes the underwear, said Disney approved the style, adding, "It was completely innocent and certainly not meant to cause any offense to customers, however we will now consider our next steps in relation to the small number of items remaining on sale."

I don't think these will cause a rise in pedophilia. I mean if someone other than the girls or their parents saw these on the girls it would have been too late. I think that is the average person were to see these on a young girl most would not see it as sexual.
This is a case of someone not thinking of worse case scenario and some parents of overreacting. I mean even the perverts on this site wouldn't think that a 6 year old girl wanted them because she had a cute saying on her panties. Now if a 23 year old with big fake boobs has them on, different story.

Out of context coupled with the perversion of the mind viewing the context. Fans of the product perceive it a different way; Swim skivvies.

Since bath time photos of other peoples tots = kiddie porn to overly sensitive soccer moms shit just continues to go down hill. Of course it's still OK when they do it though.

I would think that if some dude gets a six year old in her panties then it doesn't much matter what's written on them.

Besides, its their fault for being so damn sexy.
