I found out from Dr. Laura that Kohls hired Brittney Spears to represent thier junior girl fashions. I was so disgusted I sent them an email expressing said disgust and promising to no longer shop there. Here's part of their reply back to me:

"Ms. Spears is an international celebrity and pop culture icon who embodies the spirit of the Candies brand and personifies the iconic Candies Girl flirty, self confident and stylish. We respect Ms. Spears right to privacy, and her personal life does not reflect the views of Kohls Department Stores.

It is not our intent to offend our customers, and your feedback will be shared with Kohls Executives for future decisions. We value the opinions of all our customers and appreciate you taking the time to contact us. "

What's wrong with those people? I don't think I need to detail the reasons for being annoyed with this campaign. If you need to get up to speed on the tawdry details of Ms Spears life, you can check out Dr. Laura's blog on her website. Maybe if Kohls gets enough public backlash they'll think twice about using her in the future. Meanwhile, I hope everyone who cares about the corrupting of our youth will express their disgust to Kohls and boycott their stores.
