Thanks to Katie Toms on the London Feminist Network for alerting me to this one. Tesco, for 3-6 month olds. Remember when Dove told us "Talk to your daughter, before the beauty industry does"? Looks like the myths about female beauty are being foisted on kids well before they can even talk.
If this makes you just a teeny teeny bit mad you can write to:

Exactly how are they being foisted on a 3-6 month old who can't read or talk?
I wholeheartedly agree that it's perpetuating 'the myths of female beauty' amongst mothers, who presumably buy this kind of thing because they think it's funny. But how do you think it is materially affecting 3-6 month old ?
Kids understand things long before they speak. People see the T-Shirt and repeat the slogan out loud. Other kids read the slogan...
Did you ever see these:

Rubbish. Any sane parent would get the baby one of those 'What Would Joe Strummer Do?' shirts.
Actually, I've just written to Tesco Chairman Sir Terry Leahy - go to the top where more mayhem can be caused!
