AIBU to be offended by this Moonpig card?

Maybe I am being a bit sensitive but I really don't think it's amusing and wonder if it would be ok for someone to actually say the phrase. I don't think this is a trigger but am aware that it could upset some people and I don't want to do that.

Its the card in the bottom left corner.

why did anyone think that was funny enough to sell?

Bloody odd some people

I hate moonpig for the adverts alone

throdora because they couldn't exactly come up to you with all that dialogue.

The bitch bit maybe, then they would look even more of an ass!

also the phrase at the top could have been perceived as a clever play on words, I suppose (clutching at straws) but the bit at the bottom, where it asserts that 'bitches love cock', is for what? Just in case we didn't 'get' it?

I get you now.

perceived by the stupid, I should have said. No one normal would find that funny, would they?

Gross.

surely you would only buy an offensive card for someone who you know would appreciate the humour in it though..

I have some friends who would laugh at that, and others who would find it distasteful.

I think there are worse things in the world to be offended by. So YABU and a bit of pearl clutcher.

Remember those t-shirts on Amazon? Now that I could see being offended by.

Anyway theodora I agree with you.
:)

I am only offended by one thing. That is the Peter Andre and Katie Price cover of Aladdin's 'A whole new world'. Now that's offensive

I don't normally get offended or pearl clutch

It would depend who was calling me a bitch so... it's not offensive depending on who sent me it. I would be more offended at a 75p one with flowers or a tree picture tbh, the card you link to shows thought

I think there's a sort of meme around that phrase though - I've seen a few "funny" () pictures on the Internet captioned with 'bitches love...' whatever. I don't really get why they're meant to be funny, like with all memes I think it's been repeated so many times that people now think that just using the same format will make something automatically hilarious. I still find the word bitch really unpleasant, but I think its use on the card was referring to this lame meme rather than just a random observation iykwim.

There is, Pimp, but it's not a very popular one and seems only to be dug up by small and/or immature boys.

Yanbu. Who the hell would find something like this funny? There's a child in the bloody picture with sexual references to "cocks" and "bitches". Hilarious.

It is a meme - knowyourmeme.com/memes/bitches-love-x

That card is pretty horrendous though

Don't find it funny at all. The use of that language and what it's referring to should not be on a greetings card at all, never mind one with a picture of a child.

Is it possible to complain to moon pig about this?

So bitch has been reclaimed, hmmm, can think of some previous posters about other insulting names that "apparently ok if a person is using it inthis way", I still think they are racist. So it's ok if I call my female friend a bitch instead of a woman because it's funny in an "ironic and modern sense".

Really not a pearl clutcher though, have been in a few nasty scrapes with aggressive drunk men and maybe that's making me more sensitive. It's AIBU and everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I find bitch more offensive than cunt tbh.

It really is not funny. There's plenty of ways of making a big cock joke without involving children (which is vile) or sexist language (being a meme doesn't make it OK).

so do I, it's a good strong word that you can use to insult anyone or anything, whether man, woman dog or the thing you stubbed your toe on.

Someone explain what a meme is please?

I mean cunt is a good multi purpose word, not bitch valium

I've tweeted this thread to @MoonpigUK

It's not funny but I don't find it offensive.
