Skinny Jeans For Kids, Or Fat Pants For Beginner Bulimics?

Jul 19, 2010 · 22557 views

Let’s face it, fashion has come along way. Some of it has been great. Some of it has been, well, not so great. Then there are the fashion “innovations” that make you a little nauseous. You know the feeling, its the same one you get when you watch Toddlers & Tiaras.

Recently, Old Navy introduced a line of Skinny Jeans.  Sounds appropriate, right?  They are fashionable, and sell well, even though I despise them.  There’s one catch, however. These skinny jeans are for kids. While this isn’t the most outrageous item stores have marketed to kids, it’s still fairly appalling.

I’ll admit I’m a little on the thicker side and would never be caught dead in anything called skinny. But I feel there is a market for Skinny Jeans, just not with impressionable children. Think about all those kids who are heavier and get called fat by other kids, how is this going to make them feel?

As Helen Lovejoy on The Simpson’s said many times, “Won’t someone think of the children?”

    There is nothing worse than teenager girls pretending to be grown up women. The fashion industry shouldn’t support this.

  3. And whats with all those kids without glasses shoving it in the faces of the poor astigmatized childrens‽ Its terrible! They should all wear glasses so no one feels bad!
    If the fat kids don’t like being fat, they should put down the double cheeseburgers (and diet cokes) and go for a walk.
    This is not to say that corporate america isn’t evil, but why blame the skinny kids and take their pants?

    They should be teached how to eat healthy if they are fat. So following this line of reasoning I should be wearing baggy pants so fat people doesn’t feel bad?
