This is a question Common

Freddy Woo writes, "My wife thinks calling the front room a lounge is common. Worse, a friend of hers recently admonished her daughter for calling a toilet, a toilet. Lavatory darling. It's lavatory."

My own mother refused to let me use the word 'oblong' instead of 'rectangle'. Which is just odd, to be honest.

What stuff do you think is common?

So very wrong..
And since when did the playboy bunny logo become a fashion accessory for the under 18's? In a sane world, NEVER. But in this messed up one I have seen it emblazoned across the belt buckles of what could only be at the oldest a 10 year old girl, and even worse, in the window of an Argos back to school display there were playboy bunny pencil cases other bits of tat that no-one over the age of 18 would ever want or need. WTF is going on here?

Has Hugh Hefner decided to extend his market to include kiddy-fiddling?

Hey, there's a reccession on, you know!
If Joe Bloggs can't afford to buy that loaf of bread to feed his family, why should Hugh have to wait until they're 18 to start making money from them when he could be going for their (playboy, natch) purse from age 8?

Seriously, though, I think the problem there is the word "Play" being really kid-friendly.

They really should make it mandatory that all these Playboy accessories come with a copy of Playboy.

I might be inclined to buy the pencil case then...

It's marketed younger than that
I've taught primary school classes, where girls have the bunny logo on pink pencil cases. :(

Remember Argos
used to see nothing wrong in a junior pole-dancers kit, complete with pole, dress up shoes etc etc..
It was for 10-16s...

And it had nothing to do with Eastern Europe

They only agreed to withdraw it after a huge campaign staged by Kidscape amongst others...

I could weep
