This just in on my google news feed:

"Disney says no to ‘Musical’ panties"

Yah...this was quite an oversight Embarassed ...here's the rest of the article from Reuters:

"Posted by: Gina Keating
Tags: Fan Fare, Ashley Tisdale, High School Musical, High School Musical 2, Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron

mickey.jpgDisney said on Friday that it has stopped selling a line of panties for girls after parents in Britain complained about the message printed on them.

The underwear, made for ‘tween girls, invited the the reader to ”Dive In” and was, according to company officials, themed for a swimming pool scene from the Disney Channel hit movie,”High School Musical 2.”

Ahh to have been in that product brainstorming session!

In that scene, “HSM2″ boyfriend and girlfriend, Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, sing about their love and dance in and around a swimming pool at the country club wherezac2.jpg both of their characters work during the summer.

“Unfortunately, an oversight was made and the text on the underwear was used out context,” Disney said in a statement. “This product will not be part of any forthcoming collections and the remaining product has been removed from shelves.” "

Ok...you can't tell me you didn't even chuckle a bit???!??

Ya know, Disney does some silly things...and I can't believe NO ONE thought that a phrase like that on girls underwear was a BAD THING!

But MAN that is funny!
