Disney Stops Selling Provocative Tween Panties
Disney has pulled a line of High School Musical 2 themed underwear marketed at tweens after British parents complained about them.
The undies bore the slogan “Dive In.” Go ahead, take a minute - I had to pick my jaw up off the floor too. No, no, says Disney, they didn’t mean it THAT way! They were referencing the swimming pool scene from HSM2, where “Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens sing about their love and dance in and around a swimming pool at the country club where both of their characters work during the summer.”
Disney representatives said,
“Unfortunately, an oversight was made and the text on the underwear was used out context. This product will not be part of any forthcoming collections and the remaining product has been removed from shelves.”
Some oversight! I can’t believe that anyone at Disney is that naive. Some lackey probably threw that idea in as a joke, never believing that it would actually get made.
I’m wondering though, what they’re going to end up doing with the pulled products? How much you want to bet they end up being donated to an orphanage in some third world country where Disney hopes they’ll never ever be found by the media?

You mean one of the third world countries where the clothes are actually made? That would be a nice gesture. Send them back to the 8 year olds in Haiti who made them. At least they’d have some underpants, even if Disney doesn’t pay them enough to buy food.
Exactly my point… it’s disgusting all around.
