signs of the coming of the apocalypse, continued

From today's Washington Post:
Forget dressing them like Shrek and Fiona... What Josh and Caitlin need are the rags that are selling briskly in California and New York: Child pimp suits and 'ho' dresses. At $40 to $50, they begin at size 4...

Brandsonsale.com, an online marketing company that sells everything from poker chips to bandannas, is offering one ho and four pimp costumes for children this year just in time for Halloween...

Next year, the company plans pimp attire for infants. The demand, says company spokesman Johnathon Weeks Jr., grows each year.

'We also sell pimp and ho outfits to whole families: Mom, Dad, kids and the dog.'
I recognize that I sometimes come across as already hopelessly old-fashioned. However, I must declare this: if/when I have a child, s/he will not be allowed to dress for Halloween as a sex worker until at least age 10.

JECG: Wouldn't it make more sense to offer 4 ho outfits and 1 pimp outfit? Unless that gal is working REALLY hard!

Do they also offer normal outfits for real pimps and hos to wear on Halloween?

I agree. Sex-worker attire should be reserved for at least the third grade. I mean, who wants to get busy with a baby. Not even most pederasts I know.

It's part of their holiday line. For Thanksgiving, pimp-kin pie. For Christmas, ho ho ho!
