I got that it's an abbreviation for Betsey Johnson, but the joke is lost on me. I mean, it is for sale! Yes, I guess I am officially a prude.

When my daughter was in 9th grade or so, she came home from a mall shopping expedition with a t-shirt that said OMG WTF in huge letters. I knew she was hoping for some sort of shocked reaction. I just said, "Congratulations. You just spent $20 on a shirt you'll never be able to wear outside the house." I think she wore that shirt 3 times...in the house.

Last year I saw a daughter, with her mom, turn up to a prospective student event at the university where I teach, wearing a shirt with the same message. I do not have faith that all young women will recognize the inappropriateness of some garments. That's where mamas should come in.
