    And to think, my mom made me change when my long-sleeved bodysuit (yeah, bodysuits - 1994 style) shrank in the wash and revealed my A-cups. It's a good thing these shirts weren't around then, or her head would have exploded (we did have the proliferation of "Big Johnson" and "Co-ed Naked" shirts though).

    This is flooding my brain with memories of my charming Catholic high school. Every year, we had an evening of powder puff football games during Fake Homecoming Week. Each class would design a t-shirt to serve as a "jersey" and all the girls who participated got to dress down and wear them that school day, so it of course became this huge contest to see which class could have the raunchiest/druggiest/alcoholic-est shirt without the administration noticing.

    The senior girls straight-up failed on the subtlety portion of this challenge one year by wearing t-shirts that said "GIRLS GONE WILD". The best part: Our principal got on the morning announcements and said, "Senior girls, please come to the main office and remove your shirts immediately." Ohhhh, thinking before speaking.

    I got sent home in high-school for wearing a "Girls Kick Ass" shirt. They objected to the word "ass". At the time those horrendous "Big Johnson" shirts were the norm for boys.

    I suspect "Legalish" would have been allowed, but "Fcuk the Patriarchy" would earn me a bus back home again.

    @Meangirl.is.for.the.Horde: In grade 7 a best friend of mine was sent home for a shirt that said WEAR A CONDOM. Her mom worked in the sexual health unit at a major hospital and yeah. A strip or two were torn of the school admin the next day, for certain. It was awesome and we were so proud of her mom.

    I'm all for self-expression and clever shirts, but these are just tacky. I'm pretty sure kids that age are sexually active (I know I was) but that doesn't mean they should be broadcasting and advertising it to the entire world.

    The only people I know who wear Hollister t-shirts are 14 or younger. These people know who they're selling to: little girls who are being taught to think that "slutty" is "hot". I'm not above going in there for hoodies (those things are comfortable, for real) or bathing suits (the candy colors, they draw me in), but it's really awkward to see the twelve year old next to me buying a shirt with a slogan on it like these. It's no surprise that Hollister is the younger-sibling brand of Abercrombie. They do everything the same, but instead of marketing to hot, white college kids, it's towards hot, white wannabe-surfer kids.

    I just picture my mother's face if 14-year-old me had come home from the mall with one of these. It would be in the garbage and I would be in my room "To think about what kind of image of yourself you'd like to present, young lady."

    @PinkSoxHat: My mother had a cow because I was sent home due to my "Disco Sucks" t-shirt. She made me take off the shirt in the kitchen, then took it outside and burned it. If I would have dared to wear a shirt like these she probably wouldn't have bothered with asking me to take it off before she set it on fire.

    But that was 30 years ago, in the dark ages.

    @Skellatrix: I think it was the word "suck" that was offensive. It had a very non-casual connotation back in the day. It's widely adopted now, but then? It's like wearing a shirt that says "Disco Pounds Pussy." Or something.

    @Gretchen is a new kitten mom!: Remember the "Porn Star" brand of the mid-90s? I once brought home a halter top from them with the logo on the front when I was 15. My mom threw it in the garbage and dumped a can of soup on it so I wouldn't fish it out and attempt to return it. She figured that being out $20 would teach me to make better decisions about the clothes I chose to bring home.

    @NefariousNewt: This year our principal had a parent complaining because his son was sent home for wearing a shirt that was pretty explicit. Dad said his son had a right to express himself. When I was sent home because of my shirt 30 years ago my mom slapped me into the next week. Parents make too many excuses now so they won't have to deal with the problem.

    @Le Kangourou de Kataroo: When I was in middle school ('92-'94) there were a lot of kids in "Coed Naked" and "Big Johnson" shirts. I always wondered whether the teachers didn't get it or whether they just chose to ignore them because so many kids were wearing them.

    (For the record, even at 12 I thought they were tacky and especially couldn't believe there were GIRLS out there willing to wear them.)

    Also, I will buy the one that says "The twins are quite a handful" and wear it to express my support for Justin Morneau, Joe Mauer, and the rest of the Minnesota Twins when they play the Chicago White Sox in late September.

    @NefariousNewt: It seems like parents are different now than they were when I was a "tween", even though I'm only in my mid-20's. I realize this is a broad generalization, but my very liberal parents would NEVER have let me wear one of these, and frankly I'd be embarrassed to wear one in front of them now! But I see 12-yr olds in my classes with pierced bellybuttons and thongs sticking out of their jeans now. Are parents just checked out now? Or are kids too spoiled?

    The worst part is that half the kids in the school are still fairly innocent and don't even understand what those slogans mean, and the other half, who are a little too enlightened for their age, are all too pleased to explain it to them.
