Joke on child wear offends British parents
February 5th, 2012 - 8:38 pm ICT by IANSLondon, Feb 5 (IANS) Many agitated parents in Britain have decided to boycott one of country’s biggest retailers for selling a garment that jokes about child abduction.
Costing about 10 pounds (nearly $16), the garment — Babygrow — carries a slogan on the front reading: “Help I’m being kidnapped. These are not my parents”, the Sun reported.
Online store Kiddicare — owned by supermarket giant Morrisons — is being branded “tasteless” for stocking what it calls “a funky and fashionable body vest”.
