As Long As You Keep ‘Em On

posted by on June 2 at 11:03 AM

Kmart—last seen selling classy “light-hearted” shirts promoting domestic violence—is now marketing abstinence-only pants . Think “True Love Waits”? Now you can emblazon it across your (virginal) ass:

According to the accompanying copy, “Whether she is lounging around the house, going to practice, or doing her chores. … These athletic pants boldly proclaim just where she stands by pointing out that ‘True Love Waits’ in a large screen print on the front and back of these pants.”

Not available in boys’ sizes.

It's printed on the front and back, OK so where's the matching facemask?

If it gives creepy old men an excuse to stare at young girls' crotches and assess, I guess its okay.

True Love is overrated, anyhow.

And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Do you suppose they were designed by youth pastors?

@4 Yeah, because the font is kind of hard to read. At first I thought it said "True Lean Haits" which made no sense.

As Tim Gunn would say a further example of the Slavification of American fashion

@12: this is Slavic?

I think of it more as the Univisionification of American fashion.

I wonder if the drawstring comes with a little padlock?

I can only imagine how mortified a sexually active teen would feel when given a pair of these by her well-meaning but clueless parents, and being guilted into wearing them to school. Ugh.

True Love Waits... for a blood test.

True love waits until it can get the condom out of the fucking package.

Insincere Love would be on that like a fly on shit.

Oh, god DAMN those are HAWT. Pervy grampa is loving the look of these.

Nice that it's on the ass. What's message does that send. "True love waits"... for anal?

@17. I cannot imagine a teen who didn't want to wear these being guilted into it. This is like the pants equivalent of a promise ring -- most kids aren't guilted into those things, they're brainwashed into them.

Posted by Julie | June 2, 2008 12:15 PM

By promise ring I meant "I promise to wait till I'm married since if I don't I'm going to hell" ring.

They should just sell chastity belts. I'm sure they would catch on.

Elastic ankled sweats? That's some nursing home uniform biz right there. True Love Waits for a long fucking time, apparently. Does it come with a med alert necklace?

If they bring back Dr. Joycelyn Elders as Surgeon General in the next administration, we can all have T-shirts that say:

When you're hot and you're horny
And you don't have a date,
Just sit right down
And masturbate!

Bright yellow sweatpants are unflattering to every body type. If you wear these, you might as well become a born again virgin, because there is no way you could get laid.

funny and too bad about the lack of boys sizes because I know way more gay boys that would wear those than girls.

Those sweats are hysterical! Any parent that would buy those for their child is an idiot.

They only thing that would make these pants look better—camel toe & muffin top. Wait, isn’t that the name of a band?

These pants will be just as effective as waving a red flag in front of a bull to scare it away ...

A mild improvement over the mid to late 90's track pants.

The reason there aren't boy's sizes is because when boys fuck, it is a rite of passage. When girls fuck, they are whores.

It is the way god intended...

If only we didn't have to shit and pee out of that whole area too ... then we could just get the fucking chastity belts and call it a day.

Still, probably better this than a young woman advertising the Juiciness of her butt. I do like the idea of a padlock logo covering the crotch.

True love waits....

So your daughter's going down on guys like a circus seal in the meantime.

All I can see with these is some fake-and-baked girl with two-year-old filthy imitation Uggs, the waistband rolled down to reveal her Playboy navel jewelry, and her frosted pink lipsticked mouth covering her pierced tongue.

So did they get Britney to do the ad?
