For Shakespeare’s Sister, the subject of yesterday’s “The Dumbest Thing I’ve Read All Day” post.
I wonder, if the “Sister” would buy her children this?
Tesco has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of “destroying children’s innocence”.
The Tesco Direct site advertises the kit with the words, “Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!
“Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”.
The £49.97 kit comprises a chrome pole extendible to 8ft 6ins, a ‘sexy dance garter’ and a DVD demonstrating suggestive dance moves.
The kit, condemned as ‘extremely dangerous’ by family campaigners yesterday, was discovered by mother of two Karen Gallimore who was searching for Christmas gifts for her two daughters, Laura 10, and Sarah, 11.
Ahh yes, because not only do 10 and 11 year olds have the right to go to school attempting to show their not yet existent “attributes”, they also have an absolute need to perfect their pole dancing skills for later in life.
Don’t get me wrong; I do not mind it when an adult female has “pole dancing skillz”. But if said adult female told me she learned how to do that when she was a pre-teen, I think I’d still have to question the parenting.
And, of course, if I objectify said adult female for her “pole dancing skillz”, she’s not a hoochie-mama trying to attract my attention, I’m just a sexist, woman exploiting pig.

What are you, some type of neo-puritan taliban?!

Better to leave these subjects to the studious Perfessers who contribute to your blog, I think. You don’t want to get a bad rep here, Phil. After all, you do live in the Sensitive Sound Suburbs.
Anyone know where I can get one for the Wife?
Although I don’t question the questionable nature of this “toy,” I do question how much “pole dancing skillz” one can acquire with a pole that is not firmly anchored at both ends.
That would be bizarre; the toy gets pulled not for corrupting the youth, but because of design flaws and litigation over pole-dancing accidents.
