No I would not be offended. I still would love to find the PUTZ that stared the political correctness crap and put my foot so far up their asses that the water on my knee would quench their thirst. I am so sick of this crap.

What's next? People who get offended by the low hanging clothes on the mannequins, what about the headless ones of kids?
I find those slightly disturbing but not enough to make a store take it down. If they don't wanna see it then look somewhere else or just close your eyes when you walk by.

Hey lady! It's a mannequin for crying out loud! Get a life!

I am more offended by the horrendously skinny stick-figure ones, or the ones with no arms<<<<<<they scare me.

Im still at a loss to what there is to be offended about a pregnant mannequin?

Seriously?!!!!


I thought we have moved far away from the "preggy belly is taboo" period since Demi Moore posed nude for Vanity Fair, 17 years ago.

^^ I agree hate the stick figure ones, and the ones with no arms are freaky. But you would think that in a world obsessed with celerity baby bumps as we are. You would think a little thing like a mannequin with one would be more then acceptable.

Wow, That's just sad that they were actually throwing a fit over a pregnant dummy. I guess I didn't realize that pregnant chics were offensive and obscene.

I would have no problem with it whatsoever. Even if you are pregnant you need lingerie and clothes.

That ranks in my top 10 list for dumbest things to be offended by and then subsequently cave in to.

I am offended that some people find this offensive. She does owns a maternity shop and she has the right to have that mannequin up. Who cares if a mannequin is pregnant, fat, skinny, they are just there for display.

I've found that you can always ignore the store if you don't like what's on display in there.
