I'm all for literacy, butt...

I love to read.

I have books in every room of my house (except the bathrooms--I can't quite get over the ick factor there). I take two books with me on vacation in case I lose or finish one. I make my living reading. I even read the owner's manual for my car while I was sitting in line at the car wash once.

Parents who instill a love of reading in their children have my undying respect. That's the gift that will last them a lifetime. I applaud all efforts to increase literacy.

Except one.

Ladies, must you wear pants with words inscribed on the seat? Why do you want the word PINK or JUICY in bold type on your butt? Even if I had an ass so fine you could bounce a quarter off of it, I'd never want people associating it with the words Juicy or Pink. And to the young, fit, perky lasses who feel compelled let the world know that they're cheerleaders by wearing shorts with CHEER on the backside, your classmates all know who you are and the rest of us can pretty much tell you're cheerleaders anyway. No need to spell it out.

A few months ago, I saw a woman with the word LIFEGUARD emblazoned on her glutes. If you can fit a word that long in bold capital letters on your bottom, put down the shorts and back away!

To the the ladies who wear these items in an effort to get men to look at their asses, I'll let you in on a secret that's not really a secret: they're looking at your ass whether there's an inscription there or not.

I notice men don't advertise anybody's slogan on their backsides (I'd like the bulk of the ones born after 1979 to pull their pants up, but that's another blog for another day). Ladies, follow suit!

Let's start a revolution and put these messages back where they belong--on our boobs!
