“High School Musical” underwear for young girls have sparked outrage — because they have the words “Dive in” on them.
A British woman bought a packet of five pairs, with a “Disney-approved” design promoting the hit movie, for her seven-year-old granddaughter.
“When she put them on, myself and my daughter thought, ‘Oh my goodness.’ It is inappropriate because it is sexually suggestive,” Sue Ralph, a 57-year-old civil servant, said. “You just never know who could see that and think it was a bit too enticing for a young child to be wearing.”...

When she put them on, myself and my daughter thought, ‘Oh my goodness.’ It is inappropriate because it is sexually suggestive,” Sue Ralph, a 57-year-old civil servant, said. “You just never know who could see that and think it was a bit too enticing for a young child to be wearing.”...
If anyone but the childs immediate family and Doctor is seeing a 7 year olds underwear you might have more problems then the words on the underwear......
(with a “Disney-approved” design )
Obviously these people have not watched much of the current Disney programming.
Then again these are English folks. Lived there for a couple of years and loved it but they are Socialist for the most part and beleive it is someone else’s responsibility to tell them what to do.
IE “Disney approved”. It is the parents responsibility to make decision concerning theeee children. Nopt the Government nor Disney CO
This sort of thing has got to stop. The other day I saw some kids’ underwear that said FRUIT of the Loom. Can you imagine the damage the kid who has to wear those will suffer?
Let’s get real.
i dont know, why would underwear need the words “dive in” wtf does it have to do with the movie?
What I find so vexing is that so many clothes and various other things for kids have cartoon characters, movie tie-ins, etc. on them. It’s gotten so that it’s harder to find a kid product that doesn’t have some promotional tie-in than it is to find a plain version of the same product.
This is appropriate for a married couple who want to have a little fun. NOT a kid. Gheeezzzz!!
Dive In was a major song in High School Musical 3.
The people who design these things are aware of every aspect of the product and every possible connotation that it may have. They know exactly what they are doing. This design is no accident. They are not bumbling. It is intentional.
Anything for money.
