When I saw the following article, what immediately crossed my mind was Shea’s Law that a culture that despises virginity despises children:
"Britney wannabes — rev up your credit cards, there’s a double-wide load of styles to choose from. There’s the winsome ‘Baby Beater’ tank tops, the mini basketball uniform with ‘Jr. Pimp Squad’ across the jersey or the T-shirts that read ‘My Mom Is a MILF.’ (I’d explain MILF, but this is a family newspaper.)"
And what thoughts were behind this brainchild’s birth? Why, pure selfishness, of course! Color me surprised.
"Where does such design genius come from? I had the pleasure of speaking with the brainchild behind Pimpfants Inc. yesterday, as one Jared Parsons explained his eureka moment. A former skateboarder, he was shopping for clothes for his first son, who’s now 5 and quite a fashion plate. ‘I wanted him to dress how me and my friends dress,’ Parsons said, ‘but it’s hard to find baby clothes like that.’ Gee, I wonder why. Parsons and his friends use the word ‘pimp’ to mean ‘styling,’ he explained, and just as he was wishing he could buy his infant some styling clothes it came to him: Pimpfants. ‘Wow,’ he said to himself, ‘that’s a really good idea.’"
