Isn’t this extremely offensive?

I was sent this. It’s in someone’s jacket on a flight to London. I find it extremely offensive, others thinks is tasteless.

Yes, presumably there are kids on that flight? Totally tacky.

Henrysmycat · 09/12/2017 16:01

He’s a grown man of late 20’s/early 30s.

That is the upcoming thread in a nutshell.

PeachDelight · 09/12/2017 16:01

I think it's tasteless but not offensive? People have different senses of humour especially, I find, the younger generation.

I laughed when I saw it Blush I couldn't be offended by something so daft but I think people should have more sense than to wear something like that in public where kids will see it.

woofmiaowwoof · 09/12/2017 16:05

Yanbu in case it wasn’t clear - if worn to a club on a Saturday night then it’s tacky, if that’s in the day then personally think it’s indecent.

I'm surprised he wasn't made to take it off considering these women were (and I think this is more offensive):

In nice, clear, ringing tones:

'My child couldn't help but see that, as we have to share this confined space. As they are now asking, please would you explain it in language appropriate for age of those you have chosen to show it to. If you cannot or will not do that, cover it up - because we don't want to do that either'

DonnyAndVladSittingInATree · 09/12/2017 16:07

Urgh. I’m surprised he was allowed on the flight with that on.

confusedlittleone · 09/12/2017 16:10

@allegretto it's at the discretion of who's on that particular day.

roundtable · 09/12/2017 16:13

Gross. Just a ridiculous form of attention seeking.

Alison100199 · 09/12/2017 16:13

Um...someone is going to have to explain the joke to me. It looks like it says Porngrind with a picture of a woman giving a man a blow job. What's meant to be funny about that? It's just offensive.

ButchyRestingFace · 09/12/2017 16:13

I think it's foul to wear that in public. I wouldn't want to see it, never mind kids.

DaisysStew · 09/12/2017 16:15

What sort of grown man wears that? Not only is it offensive and distasteful - it's also very cringey. He's probably the sort who spells out boobs on a calculator then spends 10 minutes sniggering at himself.

What a fucking weird thing to wear

Sorry fast fingers. It’s the back of the jacket, covering the entire area. It’s a big jacket. Air stewardess didn’t want to know.

How delightful.

Is it a play on words or something? I don't particularly like it, but also can't see the joke... is the extent of it a rude picture and a made up word or is there another layer of 'funny' to it that I don't understand?

greendale17 · 09/12/2017 16:23

I find it offensive too

LemonysSnicket · 09/12/2017 16:23

@peachgrind ... ah yes all of we youngsters are snowflakes with no humour. Hahahahaha an obscene image in a public space where children could be ... hilarious.
‘Offensive’ comedy at an adult comedy show = hilarious.
Blowjob image on jumper in public space = unnecessary and uncomfortable.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 09/12/2017 16:24

That’s no blow job. That’s a woman with a microscope trying to inspect the teeny tiny penis of the inadequate man who would wear such a jacket.
