ok this got me and my mum fuming we were in tesco the other day and walked past the children's clothing and mum just stopped dead and was like omg look at this i looked and it was a shirt for a 3 year old and the slogan thingy on the front of it said "does my bum look big in this?" i could not believe it i cant believe that a shop would sell this and how sick is the designer who created the shirt for such a young target group. im sorry but its just wrong and disgusting to be honest. sorry it really annoyed me and yer mum was so close to having a go at the store manager. argh the number of younger people with ED's is increasing and this isn't helping. elsewhere xXx

It is wierd- the world is so obsessed with this obesity crisis that people dont sometimes think about things on the other side of the world (ED'S) want to be friends?

Well personally I wouldn't say the slogan has much to do with encouraging body dismorphia, it's more to do with gender stereotyping than anything else... :/

Hi i think the t-shirt business is really bad. how could people sell that to such young little girls, isnt everyone aware of how bad eating disorders are now?! Im not saying media, magazines etc are completely to blame for it all, but its little things like that , that add up and make recovery and normal day life so much harder.
