"Suggestive pink Santa panties targeting young girls are being removed from Wal-Mart stores after parents objected to the offensive undergarments.

The panties, which were sold in the juniors department, seemed to suggest that girls don't need money, they just need a sugar daddy — in this case Santa Claus.

The hipster briefs — carrying the slogan "Who needs credit cards ..." on the front and "When you have Santa" on the derriere — caused an uproar among parents, who called for the $2.96 drawers to be pulled off the racks.

"We have directed our stores to remove this merchandise from our shelves," Linda Brown Blakely, a spokeswoman for Wal-Mart, told FOXNews.com Wednesday.

The undergarments had caused a stir on some blogs prior to Wednesday's announcement. Scarlett, a reader of Feministing.com, alerted the blog to the holiday-inspired undies, which she found on a rack in the juniors department of a Wal-Mart in Cary, N.C.

"There's nothing quite like telling adolescent girls that they don't need to worry about finances since they have their very own moneypot between their legs," Jessica Valenti, the executive editor of Feministing.com, wrote on the panty blog post.

Scarlett was so incensed by the message on the front of the panties, she didn't even see the Santa kicker in the rear, she wrote on the blog.

"I still think that the entire thing is messed up. This isn't just a cute T-shirt that says 'Just ask Santa,'" she wrote. "This is a pair of panties. Exactly how nice to Santa would the girl have to be in order to get stuff?""

I am sure censoring the lingerie at wal-mart is going to stop this from ever happening.

i bet the real story here is she only saw the front, got pissed off and went feminazi on it, then found out about the back of the panties, but kept up the argument.

who gives a fuck what somebody else puts on their underwear? i get so damn tired of people who can't just mind their own business and only worry about things that affect them.

It's a place to start. You have to make a point to stop SOMETHING. The idea is that first the panties get pulled, then maybe the t-shirts, then this kind of crap gets pulled from commercials or TV shows. If you ignore all the "little" things, like our society does, instead of paying attention to the messages behind them, then these kinds of ideas become pervasive and harder to stop.

no, this is one of those issues where you don't buy the panties because you don't like them. You are depriving someone else of their right to purchase them if they so chose. When did it become acceptable in a 'free country' to dictate your standards and morals on others?

The only reason anyone is complaining is beacuse they were in the young girls section.

I'm sorry we deprived you of buying them for your daughter.

again, reading comprehension here. When did I say they were nice panties, that I Wanted to buy them, that I agreed with them, or that I even have a daughter let alone a child?

That was a rhetorical question, yes, but using those quotation marks doesn't make it sarcastic.

Do you really need the attached to "Free Country". Its implied. And even if that went over your head...read any of my posts in soap box. """"

^WTF? LOL I don't need a daughter to know that forcing your standards and moral judgment on the masses is wrong and stupid. Was the woman mentioned in the article your mother or something?

Wal-Mart needs to remove all violent video games off the shelf because my future kids will shop in the gaming aisle and those games imply that they can go out and kill people for fun.

It is a free country (to an extent), which is why people were able to speak out against Wal-Mart selling the panties and Wal-Mart responded to their complaints.

Why does it matter what a young girl's panties say anyway? If these girls are as sweet and innocent as their parents are claiming here and are being offended by the undergarments, then no one else should be seeing the panties on the girl in the first place.

This is where the parents go "im not buying those" and the people that made them make no money because they made a product parents didnt approve of.

housewives have too much free time on their hands if they are going to speak out against a retail store for carrying merchandise. I'm willing to bet their houses are dirty/messy and they eat out all the time.

^^ Interesting gender stereotype there. Why, automatically, is a woman seen as not doing "her" job if she is working or participating in activism outside the home? I hear that shit all the time, and I want to know where it comes from.
