Woolies Pulls 'Lolita' Bed After Protest

Woolworths has landed itself in trouble over the suggestive naming of a bedroom set aimed at young girls.

The 'Lolita' name has been withdrawn after an internet row erupted with mothers who objected to the branding.

Lolita is the title of the Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, about a middle-aged man who became sexually obsessed with his 12-year-old step-daughter.

But staff at Woolworths were not aware of the connection.

"What seems to have happened is the staff who run the website had never heard of Lolita," said a Woolworths spokesman.

Like Yeah! That's where today's education system is taking us :-(
