Daily Mail v Tesco
A friend of a friend draws my attention to this:

"Won't someone please think of the children."
-- Chris Clunge, Mungington

While it pains me to direct you towards the Daily Mail website, it's worth it for a chuckle at the readers'comments about the Tesco poll dancing kit fiasco:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=412195&in_page_id=17&in_page_id=17&expand=true#StartComments

Chris Clunge, you're not a wanka by any chance?

Other key quotes:

Tesco last night denied the pole dancing kit was sexually oriented and said it was clearly marked for "adult use". And that's in the article, before we get to the splooge.

The second comment says: Well perhaps she should be watching what her kids get up to when theyre on the net if shes that concerned. If her kids wanted to see something dirty I doubt the first place theyd be looking on the Tesco website! And what kind of kids would be looking on a supermarket website anyway?

  • No more Tesco shopping for me. Tesco obviously does not think much of their customers to stock such a nasty product.

  • Clearly Tesco has commercial spivs in its marketing dept with little or no moral integrity.

  • This is ridiculous. Pole dancing is a popular way to keep fit these days - you can join pole dancing classes at health clubs, dance studios etc - even clubs helping people to lose weight are endorsing it. Popular celebs such as Zoe Ball, Kelly Brook etc are also pole dancing as a way to keep fit. The pole is sold in a number of high street stores - it is not a problem. It is merely a classification issue.

  • I wonder if people realise that the Maypole, which many children are taught to dance around in first school, is in fact a phallic symbol.

And it just carries on from there.
