| April 24, 2001 | The very latest in bad taste, Dallas-based
Wife Beater t-shirts offers so-called "wife beater" undershirts for $20 apiece.
It's a white or black sleeveless shirt with WIFE BEATER tastefully printed in
contrasting script. There's even a "lil' wife beater" for aspiring infants.
Tongue-in-cheek, maybe. Vulgar, yet oddly amusing? Well, it gets worse: the site includes photos of a male playfully spanking a laughing female, both clad in wife beater wear, plus a "Wife Beater Hall of Fame," spotlighting famous batterers Tommy Lee and Ike Turner. The final touch is a "buy one, get a second at half price" offer those who can prove their official batterer status. As the site puts it, "You must enclose proof of conviction, court records, restraining order, probation officer's phone#,... photos are NOT acceptable." The site address is http://www.wife-beaters.com. They are hosted by valueweb.net Their email is beaten@wife-beaters.com or bruised@wife-beaterscom. Please proceed accordingly. |

| February 2000 | While visiting the home of a thirteen-year
old friend last month, one angry girl had the opportunity to peruse
the February 2000 issue of Teen Magazine.On page 26, she noticed a fashion spread of "cupid's coolest picks," featuring this spunky tank-and-g-string set in bubblegum pink. o.a.g. considers a pink g-string a fairly disturbing underwear choice for a seventh grader. She also believes that any organized marketing effort to sexualize minors is irresponsible, considering that half of rape victims in America are assaulted before their 17th birthday. She expressed her dismay to Teen Magazine via email (teen2@emapusa.com) but has received no reply. Please feel free to contact them yourself. |
