Don't Piss me off teeshirt warning in Peterborough

[Maljonic]

I'm not sure which bit is supposed to be offensive, because it says "piss" or because it mentions burying bodies?

tbh I wish people wouldn't wear stuff like this. It lowers the tone.

 

[old.Tohtori]

*calls for the Nannypolice and the Whaabulance*

Seriously...come on...

 

[old.user4556]

There is a t shirt over on sinfullshirts.com that says "calm down dear, lets not turn this rape into a murder!".

I think that's a bit far personally.

 

[Maljonic]

I can't see many people wanting to wear that.

 

[old.user4556]

The QMU in glasgow (student union), I was there last week, you'd be surprised.

 

[Kryten]

I got a warning from a copper for wearing my spangly new "Let's Get Out There and Twat It" Red Dwarf t-shirt the other day. Just another addition to the ludicrous red tape and nanny state we live in.

 

[Maljonic]

Bloody hell, that's a bit much.

 

[Agrigo]

thats just hilarious

*puts on all of his t-shirts at once and heads into town looking for attention!

 

[Overdriven]

"Women Don't Say No" is one of my favourite t-shirts.. Alot of looks from that one.. Might explain why I only wear it inside now.

 

[Sharma]

I quite like my one.

My favourite t-shirt...

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree that t-shirt slogans are a more important aspect of existence than living past 40, and I am glad that we can see eye to eye on this.

I've got a t-shirt with a car on it that says "My Other Ride Is Your Sister".

My mum thinks it should be banned. When I wear it I get loads of attention from girls who like it (and snide looks from ones who don't).

What should I do about that?

Nothing. Fuck all. Use my common sense about what I wear.


You can't legislate for people's preferences - because whatever you wear it will always offend someone. The emotional state of "being offended" is so subjective you simply can't write a law that won't unfairly restrict someone's legitimate freedom of expression...

...so we shouldn't try.


The important thing is how you react to being offended. Once you accept that you can't *really* control what people do, ever, then things become a lot easier.

Common sense ftw!

Someone gave me a Cradle of Filth hoody (I fucking hate that band with a passion) as they thought I would like it.

It says on the back in huge letters "Jesus Is A ****".

My brother wore it in town and didn't get any hassle, just loads of Jap tourists taking his pic. The ****.

Someone wore that to a gig held at my old public school by a bunch of sixth-formers.

My school is very old and has deep ties with the cathedral (where the school used to be housed) and is thus very religious.

He got kicked out.

Heh.

Heh, that's so lame though. I'm all for offending religious morons but that lacks any thought or subtlety.

Something like the darwin fish always makes me chuckle.

I'd stuff one on my car but I'm guessing someone would forget to turn the other cheek and take a baseball bat to my windshield
