Today in WTF: K-Mart Abstinence Pants

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

Giving rival Wal-Mart a run for its braindead conservative money, K-Mart recently introduced a pair of women's pants with a slogan on them that has the blogosphere in an uproar...

 From the K-Mart website:

"These athletic pants boldly proclaim just where she stands by pointing out that "True Love Waits" in a large screen print on the front and back of these pants."

Unsurprisingly, the K-Mart spokesperson evades the question as to whether this item supports abstinence:

"There may be some (customers) who made the (abstinence association), but it was not the intention." the pants have absolutely nothing to do with taking any kind of position, either way, on abstinence. "It was not associated with any group or any cause," said Amy Dimond. "It was just a graphic put on the pants."

We're buying that-- the pants, we mean, not her explanation. For, as The Frisky put it: "Because what says 'Abstinence Rules!' like a big ol’ message on your butt?"

P.S. It should be noted, as AZ Central does, that "there is no similar product for young men."

Same thing I thought.  Thom should give KMart the evil eye over that one.
