Woolworths withdraws it's Lolita bed range for teens ...
How on Earth did these people not notice this was an inappropriate name for a kids bed?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7222008.stm
Bedroom furniture for young girls with the brand name Lolita has been withdrawn by Woolworths following complaints from parents.
A parenting website said it was in "unbelievably bad taste" to give the bed the same name as a novel about a sexually precocious young girl.
Woolworths said the £395 Lolita Midsleeper Combi was withdrawn when the matter was brought to its attention.

Exactly. 'Lolita' may be just the name of a fictional character, but the like it or not, the name has become garnered with indelibe paedophillic associations.
We all know what it means when you the 'Lolita' SPAM e-mail.....
I just can't believe some dumbass actually came up with that one, & that they went ahead & used it.
Even if it is a case of PC gone mad, which is debateable in itself, surely they must've known they'd be inviting problems & would be saving themselves a load of hassle for themselves by not using it?
