Pimpfants.
This is a joke, right? Right?
I saw this on Lileks blog today. I mean, c'mon! Baby beaters? "Shorties can represent in style and comfort?" I don't see it on Snopes. Can someone do that thing where you find out who created the page?
-
reminds me of nippaz with attitude
-
I doubt it's a joke, but it is quite lame. "1Z's" indeed. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy some Baby Bratz dolls for my niece.
-
Well, Baby Sean Federline has to wear SOMETHING!
-
Pimpfants is kinda lame, but I would totally dress my kid in this:

Whois: domain: PIMPFANTS.COM created: 02-Jan-2005 last-changed: 14-Apr-2006 registration-expiration: 02-Jan-2007 registrant-firstname: XXX registrant-lastname: XXX registrant-street1: 42nd AVE registrant-pcode: 97222 registrant-state: OR registrant-city: Portland registrant-ccode: US registrant-phone: XXX registrant-email: jared@pimpfants.com Looks real... But, for me this is really good news. I direct an alternative education program, the parents buying this crap are assuring my professional future... 'cuz you can bet that if they are putting these kids in this stuff they are making all the other parenting mistakes as well. Why don't we start to really script these little ones with tee shirts that say something like "I'm gonna deal drugs and die!", or how about, "When I turn 12 you can do me!" /rant over

Monkeyfilter: When I turn 12, you can do me!

> I would totally dress my kid in this: i found this for my son in a little shop in seattle:

If that disturbed you, then this will make you maaaad: T-Shirt Hell's baby line of clothing. (might be NSFW for some.)

*notes huronbob's e-mail address for future parenting mistake remedial assistance*
-
Gah!
-
T-Shirt Hell's baby line of clothing. Well, this one made me lol "NOW THAT I'M SAFE, I'M PRO-CHOICE"
-
I hate that "pimp" is the new "cool". The pimp is the IRS of the underworld. Shows up every once in a while, demands cash, beats you if you don't pay, leaves.
-
I like the Glarkware baby stuff.
-
I was going to make a joke about how the world needs a Baby Cthulhu line of clothing, but I googled first. Man. Very depressing. And then I found this: Baby gimp suits and then I just had to give up on humanity.
-
"the parents buying this crap are assuring my professional future... 'cuz you can bet that if they are putting these kids in this stuff they are making all the other parenting mistakes as well." WTF? These are *just clothes* you reactionary old fart! Christ, does nobody have a sense of humour? I thought these were cute.
-
Honestly? I sent the "Jr. Pimp Squad" basketball set out to several of my friends, in a semi-serious attempt to see if they'd go in on it as a gag gift for a buddy who is expecting a son. Honestly, he would probably (a) think it was freakin' hilarious, and (b) dress the kid in it immediately. Still. The site is... well, yeah, what HuronBob said. 40oz Milk, indeed. Dribble some from the sippy cup for my homies.

"Looks real... But, for me this is really good news. I direct an alternative education program, the parents buying this crap are assuring my professional future..." So you help kids whose parents had a sense of humor? C'mon, the people buying these are upper-middle-class 30-something hipsters who want their babies to reflect their own sense of detached irony. It'll most likely be worn once for a photo-op (that everyone can chuckle over in 12 years) and then forgotten at the bottom of a drawer somewhere. Annoying? Sure (though in the interest of full-disclosure my wife and I have sent "Born To Suck Titties" onsies to several friends - inspiring one to start her own line of rude/crude baby gear). Some people need to lighten up ;-)

Damn! I so want that "Dingo Snack" t-shirt for my youngest grandchild! Teh cutes! The dingos ate my baby!

blames the high content of !!!! for that double comment
-
Yeah, I think I've seen the "dingo snack" one before and been mightily tempted, but I never actually buy stuff online. There's no instant gratification when it takes five weeks to ship something to my small island nation. Heh, and besides, the kid would outgrow it before it even got here.

Trac: There's always fabric pens...
-
Hey, good idea.
-
I just removed the domain owner's personal details from HuronBob's comment at said domain owner's request. No biggie.

About Pimpfants.... The word Pimp today has 2 meanings. It is commonly used to describe good style. Those shoes are pimp. That car is pimp. Like it's used in the hit tv show Pimp my Ride which means give my ride (car) a lot of style. Much like the word bad which can be used as good or bad or the word cool which means low temperature or hip (another word with 2 meanings). When a skater says that trick was sick he doesnt mean the trick has a fever. The context of the word pimp in Pimpfants is meaning style. Infants with style. It's actually very creative. If you are offended by the name then don't buy the product.
