If you have children, you should listen to this broadcast.
BTTT
Oh I dunno the hillary nutcracker looks quite classy to me.
Buy one of the shorts, smallest one you can find. Get a half dozen parents to hold a protest outside of mall. Call all media, especially the local Limbaugh/Hannity affiliate radio stations. Call TV too for the “short burning.”
Ask viewers/listeners/readers to avoid all stores in mall, keep kids out of mall, etc.
Call other stores in mall. Let them put heat on mall management.
Call local DA. File a pornography available/in view of minors criminal complaint. Have media there when you do.
Get multiple people to do same.
Launch a “Keep your kids out of the XXX-rated mall” campaign.
Watch them squirm.
When they want you to call it off, agree to do so only after they donate somewhere between $1000 and $10,000 to local home for pregnant teenage girls and/or rape crisis center.
Don't stop with the conservatives. Get the Mothers of America” involved.
short = shirt
I listened, and I have to say that Tom is taking this a bit too far. The $10hr secuirty officer doesn’t knows what the hell he’s talking about, and should be fired. Tom’s instict, that something like this is NOT allowed, is the correct one. A shirt like that might be allowed at some dirty strip mall, but it would never, ever be allowed within eyeshot of the common areas of a regional mall, owned by a national company like GGP.
I work at a similar company, not GGP. Our security officers have the authority to order the store to remove the item, or at least cover it. If the store doesn’t comply immediately, a call would go out to the Security Manager, at home, and he/she would come in and remove it personally, and impose a fine on the store.
Spencer’s has always been a cheap place.
“MALL Shame - Spencer Gifts and General Growth Properties Marketing sex to pre-teen girls.”
Wow. No kidding? Someone should wake up and smell the 80’s.
Local media starting to pick up the issue.

Silence from daily papers and local tv, not even returned emails.
It is required, being such a risque line of business, to have a “Mature Content” warning before entering the store, which I know as a matter of a fact, that they all do. It is my job to make sure they do. This warning should send a red-flag up to parents, and if parents don’t want their “pre-teens” going into the store, they should be attentive enough to keep them out. That is the job of a parent, parenting and supervising. If a child walks into Spencer’s Gift store, they are not allowed to purchase sex toys without ID, and if they do successfully purchase one, that store can be shut down. We are doing our jobs watching your kids, but if you do not like our store, than do your job yourself and keep them out. That simple.
