You know, I was really hoping to focus on something other than anti-women t-shirts this week and blog on a topic which might hopefully maintain the interest of the 13,000 people who visited this site in the past four days in response to global coverage of objectifying items of apparel.

First up, Lydia Turner (discovered here first!) in ABC’s The Drum Unleashed today about the failure of “weight-loss” dietary products and the death and injury they cause.

The try-hards at Roger David are promoting two new t-shirts for the boys, featuring women who are gagged, with strips across their eyes and semi-naked, as the latest fashion statement.
