Now You Know Why Kids Need Padded Bras

    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.

    I love the way the whole family looks traumatised by the very existence of it

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    They go a bit too far sometimes... Tesco I mean. Love this one though:

    "This item is for people who want to improve their fitness and have fun at the same time."

    Wonder what made Tesco think it would be a good idea to stock it in the first place.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    An even better thing to wonder about is who are the people who bought that for their daughters(or sons)?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭Ronin247


    Looking at the picture of the husband perhaps mrs frosty knickers gallimore should have bought one for herself.

    Was clearly marked for "adult use"

    I blame the Poles.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,689 ✭✭✭✭OutlawPete


    Oh, that's what the Tesco Pole Dancing Kit is.

    I thought it was kit for guys to learn how to dance with polish girls :o

    Saw a child (about 9) in the Square, Tallaght today, with "You're out of my league" emblazoned across her T-Shirt.

    Weird thing: when I was an 9 year old boy, i'd simply have assumed she was a chelsea fan*!!! :eek:

    They'll sell toy doctors kits, and toy kitchens and toy cash registers but they ban the toy pole?

    Some parents just want to realistically set their children up for future career options.

    Maybe they should sell toy cervical smear testing kits too.

    I do think we need better education on this subject. Not a bad idea!

    You know society has gone to fcuk, when a joke can be genuinely mistaken for a serious comment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    I dont' really see how it could "destroy children's lives". Strippers make good money.

    Dr Adrian Rogers, of family campaigning group Family Focus said
    "It ought to be stopped, it really requires the intervention of members of Parliament. This should only be available to the most depraved people who want to corrupt their children."

    So is he saying that tesco are aiming at the wrong market and this should not be in the toy aisle but in the depraved/corrupting aisle (near the meat counter)

    Maybe some girls aspire to be a pole dancer?

    But from what I've seen, girls dont need practise. The minute they see a pole they are on it. Bunch of whores..
