A chain of retail stores in Britain has withdrawn the sale of beds named Lolita and designed for six-year-old girls after furious parents pointed out that the name was synonymous with sexually active pre-teens.
"What seems to have happened is the staff who run the website had never heard of Lolita, and to be honest no one else here had either," a spokesman told British newspapers.
Hmmmm. Well, if they had no idea that 'Lolita' was associated with pre-teen girls and sex, how were they familiar with the name/term at all? Somebody there had heard the term, at least. Maybe they will be working on the Altar Boy Bunkbeds next.
