Would you wear this type of t-shirt in public?

I’m reminded of the time I stepped onto an elevator here in Bangkok. The lone fellow passenger was a very attractive young lady wearing a T-shirt that proudly proclaimed in English: “I Fuck on the First Date.” I didn’t have the nerve to ask if she understood what it said.

I go to T in the Park - Scotland’s largest music festival - every year. There are always lots of choice T shirts around, that doubtless people wouldn’t wear anywhere else. My favourite was one that said “No, I haven’t got Tourette’s, you’re just a fucking cunt”.

I might have worn a shirt like that, when I was 14.

here I am thinking of the Seinfeld ep with the proctologist’s “ASS MAN” license plate.

No more shame in this world. Not sure that is a good thing.

Were you in North Carolina? There used to be a billboard with this slogan right before the bridge to Emersld Isle, NC

It’s nothing new. Wyatt Earp wore a “Mustache Rides 5¢” t-shirt.

I love vaginas too.

But, like all guys, I’m on the fence about whether I should wear a t-shirt that specifically spells it out for strangers who might not already guess it from my jaunty walk and wild eye-contact, and the vagina I carry around with me.

I’ve seen that on a library patron. Dude was, no lie, asking about how to grow cocaine. (I sent him upstairs to speak to our resident master gardener. Didn’t warn her. Hee hee hee!)

There was an oyster bar back in West Texas that sold T-shirts that said, “Shuck them, suck them, eat them raw.” I’m sort of okay with that one.

Damn. I just remembered the T-shirts actually read: “Shuck me, suck me, eat me raw.” Me, not “them.” But those were popular shirts back then, although I never did get me one. I never have been a big oyster fan even though I can dig into them if they’re in front of me.

I wouldn’t say I’d be offended by seeing someone wearing the t-shirt described in the OP, just mildly despairing of the classless stupidity of segments of the human race. On the other hand:

I laughed at this, so I must be a bad person.

There’s a meat company in Southern California with big bold signs on the sides of their delivery trucks:

YOU CAN’T BEAT OUR MEAT

I found the “Tourette’s” t-shirt especially offensive because I personally know several people who have been diagnosed with it, and several others who probably have it and haven’t been diagnosed, and NONE of them curse involuntarily.

I’m reminded of a friend in high school who came back from summer vacation with a t-shirt reading:

I slept
on a Virgin
Island

Classy guy.

Many eons ago, in the 60s when I was a young and extremely naive teen, the family went to Ocean City, MD on vacation. We went into one of the gazillion boardwalk stores where you could get any number of iron-on transfers on the t-shirt of your choice, and the transfers were displayed on all the walls. There was one I found confusing.

The picture was a cartoon of a Mexican “bandito” with bandoliers across his chest, with a gun in one hand and holding up a cat buy the tail with the other. The caption was something like “Official Tijuana Pussy Posse.” I read it aloud to my mom hoping she’d explain it, and by her reaction and lack of explanation, I figured it was something dirty. It was a few more years till I figured it out. It could have been extremely embarrassing for an unknowing cat lover. :eek:

I don’t like crude clothing at all. I’ll agree with those calling it juvenile, tasteless, classless, and inappropriate just about anywhere. Altho such garments are great for warning you who to avoid.

I’m presently enjoying a couple of days touristing in New Orleans. Professionally speaking, the tacky tourist stores here are world-class tacky.

Lots and lots of shirts like that with various drawings of crawfish on them. All “me”, not “them”.

It’s kind of like the t-shirt I saw when I was young that said “If it smells like fish, eat it,” but not quite s classy.

When I was little, I got a big laugh from customers in a T-shirt shop by innocently reading aloud, “I Fixed Farrah’s Fawcett”. :slight_smile:

There’s a liquor store in Avon, CO, which is at the base of Beaver Creek ski resort, called Beaver Liquor. They sell all sorts of t-shirts and hats with their store name and logo on it. It is a very popular spring break tourist stop.

Colorado has had to stop putting up Mile 420 highway signs. They’ve replaced them with Mile 419.99
