American Apparel's clothing range and advertising has come under fire before, but for parents of teens, this feels like a step too far. Parental warning: this article contains a graphic image.

“DH dealt with one in the counseling office — a 9th grade girl had on a T-shirt with pictures of cats that said “Want to Pet my Pussy?” —I’m not kidding. My husband hauled her in, called the mother who came down and promptly said “that’s a great T-shirt, I bought it for her!” School won on that one, but we often don’t.”
Please tell me BOTH mother and daughter had to do detention for a few weeks.

No
Its crude....like me
But no one wears me in public
Bleh.
So far, the question that hasn’t been asked is, “Why would she want to?” Why would anyone?
Think college student majoring in `Angry Wymyns’ Studies.’
There is their market...
OMG!
Must have been designed by or for some poor soul really desperate for human interaction. Any attention better than none. Parents MIA, perhaps too preoccupied with the Sierra Club or with rinsing out the recyclables.
I remember seeing boys with t-shirts that said “S*ck my d*ck” in the 1990s.
Kids learned this filth from adults.
There are too many people for whom boundaries only exist as restraints imposed by an outside, civilizing force (such as jail). Then they get all indignant when finally somewhere, somebody has to tell them “No”.
Years ago I saw a kid climbing up the shelves in Wal-Mart, stepping on/knocking over merchandize in order to fetch some item off of a high shelf. I thought what the **** but as I rounded the corner, I saw that the child had been dispatched by the mother. “No, not that one, the one next to it...”
Why look for a step stool or employee when a 7 YO will do the trick. I should have noted if the mom was wearing some “message” t-shirt. :-/
I wouldn’t wear it. If I had a child and she brought that home, I’d burn that shirt.
And it just didn’t say pornstar, it was done in like plastic sparkly gems, like from the “bedazzler” or something like that. Not home-made, I’m sure, but I will never forget it.
But you may be right, I wouldn’t doubt the mother wasn’t looking for an altercation of some sort, be it a claim, of racism or what not. I know that sounds racist to say, but, well.... I don’t know what else to say about it.
It was one of those instances that would not have turned out good, and quite probably very ugly if I had approached this 400 pound woman with 200 kids and parents standing outside waiting for the bell to ring. I’m sure I would have gotten the short of the stick confronting a woman of color in a public school yard. Only so many battles to be fought, gotta pick and choose em.
