Woolworth's stores in the United Kingdom have halted sales of a new bedroom set called the "Lolita Midsleeper Combi," which was aimed at young girls.

It seems that no one in their marketing department had thought it was a bad idea to go with the name made famous by the Nabokov book (and two subsequent films) about a pedophile who falls in love with a 12-year-old "nymphet" and desperately tries to make her love him.

A spokeswoman from Woolworth's claimed that there "aren't many people in the company, in the whole world, who know about the 'Lolita' book or films.... There might be a few people in the country who have a problem with it, but it's just a name."

We know, she's right. It's just a name. And so we've come up with a few more names for bedroom sets that might make suitable replacements. (After the jump).

1. Marquis de Sade Canopy Bed ("Four whipping posts!")

2. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" Bunk Beds for Boys

3. Hannibal Lecter's "Body-Hiding Murphy Bed Set"

4. Polygamists' Paradise King Mattress ("Sleeps five wives!")

Here's more teenage bad behavior we found:
