SCANTILY-clad mannequins should be banned from lingerie shop windows, says a Muharraq [Bahrain] councillor. Modern mannequins look too real and are exciting young men, who crowd round the shop windows, says Majeed Karimi.
| "They keep leavin' those stains on the glass. It's disgusting!" |
Male assistants should also be banned from lingerie shops, says Mr Karimi, chairman of Muharraq Municipal Council's legislative, financial and administrative affairs committee. Displaying mannequins clad in lingerie is against Islamic and social values, he said.
"These mannequins look like real-life women, with exactly the same features," said Mr Karimi.
| "They got them titties... an' them thighs... and buttocks... an'... an'... Oh, Allah! Where's my gun? I must... I must... I must shoot off!" |
"I have received various complaints from people that they feel aroused by seeing these mannequins being exhibited in front of them."
| "They're givin' all those young fellers stiffies, those plastic hussies!" |
| It's as close as some of these lads are going to get ... |
He said that many young men in Muharraq stand in front of these shops, not just to watch women enter and leave, but fantasise about the mannequins. "We want shop owners to remove them at once, because these mannequins are affecting the way our children are being raised," said Mr Karimi.
| "Do it for the children!" |
