I hope someone who works at a rape crisis centre sees her, takes her aside and explains why an open invitation to "RAM THIS" written on her backside is wrong on oh-so-many levels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175624 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 17:51:10 +0000 Michelle 175624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, Dashrashi takes the prize. The "ram this" one actively makes me furious. Promoting child exploitation is not ok, ever, under any circumstance. The "crabs" shorts could be construed as humour, even if it's pretty classless. I admit I giggled slightly when I read it, but Dash's example raised my blood pressure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175534 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:23:44 +0000 Debora 175534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL, Kim! Glad to see I made the right call leaving that one out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175518 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:09:29 +0000 RoseandJoan 175518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hopefully crabs will never be the height of fashion. Oh the shame, do you ever blush for somebody else? I do especially people on reality tv. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175511 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 15:04:56 +0000 Queen Mum 175511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Debora-<br /> I obviously have too much time on my hands because I searched the rib joints in your area and I think I found the one you are referring to.<br /> and yes you're right.... too obscene to repeat. I know one thing, if I had a daughter she sure would never work at that place! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175437 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 12:28:26 +0000 Scarlet 175437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm...maybe it's a way to deflect unwanted male attention? I am sorry, but I actually think it's kind of funny. Tasteless, but funny. It's pretty bad, but Ram This on a 12 year old is just criminal. Not funny. A 12 year old can't even argue she is exercising her feminine power to assert her sexuality, or whatever Christina Aguilera used to say. Perhaps it all goes back to our collective wish to banish shorts with messages on the butt. The ribs place with rack double entendre is just, sigh, depressing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175429 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:53:00 +0000 Debora 175429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really is so unfortunate that these young girls see nothing wrong with wearing degrading clothing. We have a local BBQ joint where the young waitresses wear tee shirts advertising their full racks. This is mild compared to the other one that they wear. I'll spare you the description of that one, it's that obscene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175414 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:33:34 +0000 Isabel 175414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle - it looks as if Dashrashi actually takes the prize. </p> <p>When I said that the young woman was lovely, I wasn't being facetious. She was soooo cute, smiled at my mom as they walked by, and she seemed so good with that baby..that you have to wonder what she was thinking.</p> <p>Dusty you are a really compassionate and open-minded and you are absolutely right. Maybe she didn't really "get" it. But just like the "ram this" shorts, you have to hope that someone in her life would get it and explain it.</p> <p>( Too funny about the "contest" : you should know the only thing I have ever won was a stuffed frog at the age of 8....and I was THRILLED....he had nothing written across his bum, by the way.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175412 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 11:20:34 +0000 Debora 175412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This just makes me sad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175386 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 08:45:18 +0000 Louise 175386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katiepea I'm joining you in the original thought she'd entered a competition.<br /> As if you'd go out wearing something like that one can only hope as Dusty said it's from the crab shack. Still I suppose you'd never get rude men pinching your bum!!!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175318 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 04:17:15 +0000 Katiepea 175318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh. My. Goodness! Yes you win! </p> <p>Although I ahd to giggle at myself because I'm obviously so vague atm, I didn't read the post title clearly and thought that you were going to put a link to a competition that you'd entered for a dream prize (like an amazing holiday!) that you were going to forbid us to enter.</p> <p>Imagine my surprise when I read your post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175299 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 03:42:18 +0000 Vani 175299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*dumbfounded* Isabel, hands down, you win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175270 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:52:24 +0000 Dashrashi 175270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I once saw a 12-year-old girl (or thereabouts) at the local mall, wearing short athletic shorts with a saying across the butt. I can only hope that her high school's team was The Rams, as her shorts said, "Ram This." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175267 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:49:17 +0000 Michelle 175267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh My God!!!! Corey has just hoisted a big honkin' stark-white flag, and we're both speechless!!<br /> Absolutely unbelievable.<br /> Thanks for sharing, Isabel! You definitely win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175238 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 02:18:12 +0000 Theresa 175238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>eeeewwww </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175218 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:55:13 +0000 Queen Mum 175218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it's actually quite sad to me that anyone would lower themselves to such indignity </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175216 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:54:56 +0000 Dusty 175216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In the defense of the girl - I'm 99.999% those were Joe's Crab Shack shorts (I know they have shirts that say that so shorts wouldn't surprise me) so it's possible she didn't even get the double entendre there. However, it's still really tasteless and, really Joe's Crab Shack really shouldn't be putting that stuff out into the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175213 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:53:11 +0000 taylor 175213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ugh, Charming </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175208 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:48:00 +0000 Angie 175208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe it. </p> <p>That Walmart website is well worth a look. AMAZING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175205 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:46:01 +0000 Refugee 175205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you found that distressing, don't ever go to the peopleofwalmart website. Trust me, you will end up with images forever burned into your brain that you don't want. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175202 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:43:08 +0000 Isabel 175202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mac, I agree, super-casual doesn't bother me either, unless there is a body part hanging out but the thought of having to explain to my little ones " what does that mean, mama ? " really upsets me.</p> <p>Sparky, I think that either way, it was awful. If my babysitter or friend or family member took my child out with that across their bum, I would be mortified. Do we give special dispensation for young and trying to be witty ? That is actually very interesting to think about....I wore some really stupid things when I was young, but I would have been mortified to even be seen with someone wearing something like that. When I was in jr. high, if your bra straps showed, you were a slut.</p> <p>Would I have even noticed if it were a young man with an offensive, sexist t-shirt ? Men's offensive t-shirts and bumper stickers have been around for decades - but I find this with girls/women to be more recent ? Is this feminism ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175173 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:10:13 +0000 Sparky 175173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if there's any chance the young lady was the child's sitter or the nanny. Somehow that would make it less offensive. As in, she's young, she's childless, she doesn't know any better and is not quite grown up. But, if she's a mom ~ well then, she should know better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175165 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:04:37 +0000 Mellllls 175165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that is disgusting!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175163 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:03:40 +0000 Mac 175163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. I am never offended by folks who wear sweats on the plane or hoodies to the grocery store: super-casual doesn't bother me. But seriously, clothes with tasteless sayings or images on them really push my buttons. I'm often tempted to say something to people who wear things like this in public. Yuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175158 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:01:00 +0000 Queen Mum 175158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm speechless! utterly speechless. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175157 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 01:00:25 +0000 marianna 175157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yuck! That's just gross. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175153 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:48:05 +0000 Dusty 175153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ewwww.......I think that may be worse than the sweats with Juicy written across the butt. Yuck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-i-have-to-win-with-this#post-175146 Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:38:37 +0000 Isabel 175146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I was out with my mom when I spotted a lovely, young woman - probably 20's. What caught my attention was how short her shorts were and the beautiful baby boy she was carrying. I waved at the baby as she walked by and he waved back over her shoulder. Then I noticed, written across the back of her short, shorts : GOT CRABS !</p> <p>Lovely....Michelle, I think I may have beaten Corey's wedding observations. </p>
