A stationery company has been blasted by an anti-child exploitation group for promoting a series of porn-themed products in its back-to-school sale.
Typo’s product line includes a travel mug that says 'Porn is my saviour' and an iPhone cover featuring a naked woman sitting provocatively in a cross-legged pose with the word 'dirty' above her.
A notebook featuring a topless woman pouting in front of a bullseye is also for sale, while another appears to be trying to emulate the front of a porn magazine.
The words 'entertainment for men' appear over a photo of a naked woman.
Anti-child exploitation group Collective Shout spokeswoman Melissa Tankard-Reist said parents should boycott Typo and companies like City Beach, which sells a pencil case featuring topless women.
“This all seems to be part of a theme where pornography has invaded the back-to-school sale,” the Herald Sun quoted her as saying.
“A notebook with a topless woman in front is glamourising violence against women.
“To promote pornographic violence against women is bad enough, but to promote it as part of a back-to-school sale and to suggest porn and violence are appropriate for the classroom is disgraceful,” she claimed.
More than 500 people including teachers signed an online petition calling for the withdrawal of the products on the first day.
