I don't care how short ya are RoadTrip, I don't think they'd even fit you. ;-)

Hey, don't get me wrong, I have a sense of humor...but something like that shirt would be something that I would see on a beer-swilling guy, not on a baby. You know the expression, "You are what you eat"? Well, in today's society, "You are what you wear" and something like that shirt is not only bad for the child's personality, but is referring to women as objects! Geesh, we really need to grow-up as a society and start treating people with the respect they deserve. I've seen newsstories about shirts and pants with similar type of denegration on teenage and young girls. Some people don't like being labeled, but there it is...all across their chest or on their backside. People need to take responibility for their self-image...A baby can't. You've got to inspire, not limit.

Babies with pierced ears and ear=rings. Babies with tatoos. To my mind, some of this smacks of abuse, or at the very least, extremely poor taste and parenting. Not to mention the names parents give some of these poor kids. At least those the kids can change when they grow up. If they're not already warped by that age after growing up as Wolfbane Brew-Kettle Smith.

It's a lame attempt at humor and it's allowed because breasts are already so sexualized in our society.

Originally Posted By TALL Disney Guy I'm not keen on this either. <The baby isn't going to have a clue, so I don't think it's "bad for" the baby - these shirts are clearly for the parents> Ah, but when the baby grows up, he may have a clue. I'm picturing a run-of-the-mill teenage boy lookin' through his baby pictures, when all of a sudden he sees his mommy holding him as a baby wearing a shirt that says "BOOB MAN"---and Lord help him if his friends ever caught sight of that! He wouldn't live that down ever. And the poor kid, seeing evidence that he was carted around with his tummy proclaiming he loved Mommy's Breasts. Talk about an Oedipus complex... Like knightnfrees said, that's an adult type humor, not baby.
