KANSAS CITY, MO.: A children's swimsuit is causing so much controversy that its maker has pulled it off their website, but not before upsetting parents and experts who say that a padded bikini top is grossly inappropriate for girls as young as seven years old.
"It gets young girls to think about themselves in developmental ways before its developmentally appropriate," said Professor Gail Dines, an activist and feminist at Wheelock College in Boston who adds that the swimwear could welcome inappropriate attention from adult men.
The swimwear's maker, Abercrombie and Fitch, is no stranger to controversy, having in the past sold thong underwear in their children's store. Now the padded bikini top has parents shaking their heads.

Levin takes on Ron Paul devotees: 'I promise you his followers are the biggest a-holes of them all'!
Ron Paul fans: Please check out my latest post here: Ron Paul: Why Can't We 'Put Into Our Body Whatever We Want?'- Part Two! before it's too late!
“Truth be told, I’m not the administrator of my social sites, but I back the administrator,” Levin said. “See, what happens folks is sometimes we get into these little discussions and the word goes out – flood the Facebook site or whatever – through bloggers, through people who think by this kind of mob mentality, they’re going to persuade people. They don’t persuade anybody of anything. They annoy people and so the administrator has to clean out a bunch of them, particularly when they get into their hate modes. They keep linking back to other sites, which are intending to increase the hits on those other sites.”...“And so we get into these debates on constitutional issues, on economics, on history,” he continued. “And that’s a good thing. But the Ron Paul people are the biggest a-holes of them all. Now some of you may be thinking about Ron Paul – I promise you his followers are the biggest a-holes of them all. Not necessarily because of what they believe, but the way they express themselves. They’re obnoxious. They’re like Marxists, really. The mob mentality, the language, true believers, and yet there is a lot that is sensible, particularly on the Rand Paul side of the family when it comes to the Constitution, and economics and so forth.” Mark Levin.
