It’s just seaside silly humour. No I’m not offended. Why are you?

It's just a bit of a joke, tasteless but I wouldn't find it offensive.

No . It’s seaside postcard humour.

Not rip roaringly funny but I'm not offended

it's a bit 1960's - I do find it in poor taste.
What was the context of the post?

Yes it would annoy me & id pass comment. There's no group that I could imagine this kind of 'joke' being appropriate. It wouldn't ruin my day though

Not offensive no. But equally very childish and unoriginal.

Because it’s so smutty and it absolutely objectifies women.

Maybe it hits a raw nerve with me particularly because I have large boobs and have had to put up with shit like this (comments) my entire adult (and teenage) life.

It's poor taste but not offensive. I'd make my judgements about the person who posted it.

Not offensive. It's a silly humour.

I see it and think 1970s bad taste humour. It doesn't offend me because I think that time is over.

No.
Cringy in this day and age, but not offensive.

It's not funny and it reminds me of Benny Hill. Outdated and should stay in the past where it belongs

It would of been better if it had actually been funny

It's a useful way to filter your acquaintances for people you want nothing to do with, because no one worth knowing would find it funny. However it shouldn't be censored - freedom of speech makes it easier to spot and avoid the arseholes.

Yes. I think I’d awful. And not funny.

It's one of those ancient "naughty postcards". A bit naff and embarrassing but I can't get too worked up over it. Has the sharer never seen them before?

I find it pretty revolting. It's that old fashioned seaside humour as PPs have already stated.

Look no further than this forum to find people being offended by absolutely anything and everything, so you are just following the fashion.

Unless it's a caricature of some work colleagues against their will, then no, it's not offensive. Why would it be.

It’s not offensive but you do seem to have taken it personally.
