Kudos to Barbara Brotman for her column “Parents lament: Marketers will be marketers” (WOMANEWS, Feb. 14). I, too, was outraged by the sexually suggestive bag Abercrombie & Fitch is dispensing. I called the company twice to register my shock that they would put four pre-teenage girls in bed with a partially clad teenage boy to sell clothes. However, they never returned my calls.
In light of the recent uproar over the Calvin Klein billboards that featured young children in their underwear, one would think that Madison Avenue would finally get it. Their strategy to sexualize children in order to sell products is just plain intolerable.
