For once I kinda sorta agree with the HuffPo

Let's get real. Is this bikini any different from all the other age-inappropriate clothing out there? Is this bikini going to make our daughters want to grow up and have big boobs? Is this bikini going to give them a terrible complex that they have Smarties-on-a-plate, instead of big jugs, excuse the English expressions?
Girls will think about this stuff irrespective of this bikini; we all did when we were girls.
With all due respect to the journalistic expertise of the NBC Today Show staff and their guest experts, not one person mentioned how dressing our daughters in provocative clothing is an open invitation to sexual predation.
Sexual predators are the culprits in our society, not string bikinis.

Yes, this item does open little girls up to exploitation by sexual predators, so you're right there.  But, sexual predators would be a threat regardless of what the kid wore; this thing just makes it worse.  The even bigger problem is that selling such things to little girls teaches them that they're body and sexuality are more important than their character, and that's just plain vile.

Abercrombie's push up bikini for 7-year-old girls

From the "absolutely disgusting" files comes this piece of garage.

I must say, Abercrombie & Fitch has gone too far this time.  For years we've been putting up with their pornographic ads and use of underage models in horrendously sexualized posters, but now they want to sell THIS to girls as young as seven?  Why is this even allowed?

Though really, it's not Abercrombie & Fitch's fault, it's ours.  Our wholesale turning away from God and morality has led us to buy ever more and more crap like this, and sexualize our children.  Feminists didn't help by selling girls the idea that promiscuity and "sexual empowerment" were all fine and dandy.  It's little wonder we have so many cases of teenage pregnancies; when we divorce sexuality from it's unitive and procreative purposes and sell it as a leisure activity, we create demand for more and more sexual crap like this, which companies looking to make a profit are all too happy to sell us.

The only cure for this societal ill is Jesus Christ and His Church.  It's time for this generation to turn back to God and seek His forgiveness for our sins.  It's the only thing that can save us now.
