promoting abstinence

given my last post, i thought this was fitting. Kmart is selling sweatpants for junior girls that promote abstinence, with the phrase "True Love Waits" on them. Kmart, however, says the pants have nothing to do with abstinence.

perhaps the phrase "True Love Waits" could be interpreted differently than promoting abstinence. in that case, one may agree with Kmart execs. but the description of the pants clearly states:
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.
further, the description calls the slogan a "bold abstinence screen print." someone is lying. and you know this is written across the butt of these pants. that's a nice place to display your abstinence views. [via]
