Toddler T-shirt outrage

Sunday Star Times 25 Feb 07
Fashion House World has been accused of marketing children as \”little sexual beings\” and grooming them for sexual predators with a T-shirt featuring the slogan \”Future Porn Star\”. The T-shirt has outraged anti-child abuse campaigners Stop Demand and comes as a new American report says the rising tide of \”raunch culture\” is starting to affect young girls.But World designer Francis Hooper is defending the T-shirt saying, \”As a fashion designer I\’m being humorous and irreverent\”. Stop Demand spokewoman Denise Ritchie said the slogan was irresponsible and it was time World grew up. She said parents should realise that a lot of \”creepy\” men found such images arousing.
