There’s an ‘I Promise I’ll Pull Out’ statement shirt being sold in the boys section of SM department store

Wait, say what?

This slogan on a t-shirt may be cute on adults — but on boys, really?

Because it was at the boys section of a department store that Lynn Lopez saw this when she snapped an evidence and posted it to her Instagram and Facebook accounts.

“Wow, this is irresponsible and inappropriate,” she wrote on her post. We tend to agree.

The non-surprise here is that the shirts are being sold at SM Department Store’s section for boys. What, exactly, do will boys aged in their tweens be promising to pull out?

This incident is not a surprise because, if you recall, it was at SM’s section for boys that writer Karen Kunawicz found the “It’s not rape, it’s a snuggle with a struggle” statement shirt.

It quickly became viral, angered a shitload of people, and forced SM to pull out the shirt and issue an apology. Is this going to be a repeat of that ugly incident? Or did SM mean the kind of pull out that they did last year?

 

Wow, this is irresponsible and inappropriate. Spotted in the Boys Teens’ section #smstore #smdepartmentstore
