o/t - is this t-shirt offensive

[Asterix]

Badly worn boy

Personally, I don't find "swear" words as offensive as the line drawing of 2 dwarves copulating on the rear tyre cover of that Yankee 4x4 that I regularly see driving around my locale.

(I'm still having trouble getting past the mullet)

[Man On The Clapham Omnibus]

Yes certainly. It is very little on its own, but it is part of the steady drip-drip erosion of decency. The copulating dwarves Asterix mentions are a stage further and there are many more stages yet to go.  

[oioi]

best t-shirt i saw was "I dont have tourettes, I just think your a c***"

[cliveboy8]

Yes, I agree it is offensive.

Two things to consider:

1. The guy's name sums him up

2. He is American and it was bought in America - wear it America not here

[Man On The Clapham Omnibus]

I liked:

"Outside of a dog a man's best friend is a book.

Inside of a dog it's too dark to read"

Do you not think that the only way you could find it offensive is if you are a bit dim and just don't get the humour  

I find it odd that people find a funny T shirt offensive and feel the need to speak out about it. But really offensive things in the world pass them by.

I wonder when people will realise that Sex is natural and swearing is a form of expression.

Its interesting I find that xenophobic talk far more offensive than that T shirt. Because the difference is you mean it !!!

Yes, I dont like to see swearwords in print on public display, we all frown when we hear young children swearing, so it's best not to expose them to it, too early in their lives  

Edited to add, Does this make me a grumpy old man  

And for those that have met me, they know I swear all the time, but not in the company of Females and children.

A few years back, a lad that I used to work with was arrested for breach of the peace.  He was wearing a t-shirt with ' Jesus is a c***'  (without the editing) written across the back.

He was wearing it whilst spectating at the local raft race, which was prety busy and there were dozens of complaints before he was arrested.  Personaly I think that he deserved it for being an a**e  , let alone the t-shirt!

The one above deserves it for the hair cut

LOL so women are not allowed to swear either  

If you think about that statement what do you think it says about yourself

I would have said it shows someone with consideration for others.

[Bluerallye]

Not in the slightest bit offensive in my eyes but I probably wouldn't even notice it to be honest.
