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.

Could that not be classed as potentially exposing children to pornographic material?

Nyx1 · 09/12/2017 16:24

Trojan, the wearer will probably happily explain the act to children!

Roomba · 09/12/2017 16:25

So glad I'm not on your flight! I'd have my 5 year old, who is learning to read very adeptly, sounding out the text and then asking very loudly over and over again what it meant and the picture was as he didn't understand... My 12 year old is still in the 'eurgh gross' phase and would die of mortification if he had to sit looking at that for several hours!

Not appropriate at all for somewhere where people have no choice but to look at it - it's not like you can move your kids out of the way of it to distract them, is it?

jcsp · 09/12/2017 16:34

You shouldn’t wear something that you cannot easily explain, without embassasment, to your Mum.

Simple.

Blackteadrinker77 · 09/12/2017 16:38

I the person wearing not from the actual band?

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.

Poor chap probably hasn't had a blow job in years.

wrenika · 09/12/2017 17:09

It's funny...tasteless funny, but funny. I wouldn't call it offensive or obscene. Kids aren't going to know what it is...and if they do, well, they already know!

Tartyflette · 09/12/2017 17:10

Movingon hilarious! will have to remember that.
But it's like those 'joke' blowjob wedding pix (was a thread about those recently). Tacky. Seriously tacky.
And many people would find a jacket like that in a public place highly offensive. and only worn by complete knobheads
If there were children around I think I would make a proper complaint to the CC and follow it up in writing.

GaryBarlowsTaxReturn · 09/12/2017 17:12

wrenika genuine question, how is it funny? It's a picture if a woman giving a blow job. I don't see the what humorous about it.

OneOfTheGrundys · 09/12/2017 17:14

Yikes. Who on actual earth decides to wear such a thing. Bleugh.

StealthPolarBear · 09/12/2017 17:16

Yes another one here who doesn't see the humour. I assume it's a play on words but don't know what

BluthsFrozenBananas · 09/12/2017 17:17

Urg....whenever I see men wearing stuff like that I assume they’re basically Jay from the Inbetweeners.

Brilliant. It is certainly a handy visible indicator of someone to avoid.

I wonder , it is pornographic.

Blackteadrinker77 · 09/12/2017 17:23

I don't think it is meant to be funny. There is a genre of music called porngrind.
It's lyrics are very sexual and often violent.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 09/12/2017 17:25

It's funny...tasteless funny, but funny

What is funny about it? Blowjobs aren't of themselves funny- why is a cartoon representation of one inherently funny?

Amanduh · 09/12/2017 17:26

It's tastless. And weird. And sad. I cba to find offensive though

guardianfree · 09/12/2017 17:34

Yup Op - it IS offensive. And this is partly why young girls are getting such a hard time being sexually harassed in schools and the lives of both boys and girls are saturated with porn - because the adult world is introducing age inappropriate material to children - we have taken leave of our senses.
Not that long ago (20 years?) an adult showing a child an image like that would be questioned by the police. Now people think it's 'edgy' and 'OK' to have images like that on display where children can see them.
I sincerely hope that the posters on here who think it's OK and 'funny' are not parents!

OtterInDisgrace · 09/12/2017 17:34

I’m with Lass - what’s funny about it?

It’s a bit grim, I think. No doubt if questioned on it the wearer would think it’s pee cee gawn mad and that anyone who objected was a rabid feminazi.

jensur1 · 09/12/2017 17:40

Its just offensive.
The only funny thing about it is the person wearing it!

HamishBamish · 09/12/2017 17:42

Gross. The airline should have asked him to remove it.

Mummyoflittledragon · 09/12/2017 17:45

If your friend wants to kick up a stink, they could complain to the airline that this outfit was deemed acceptable on the flight. I think it’s pretty horrible.

TheOtherClass · 09/12/2017 17:48

It's offensive if worn in public in the daytime.

I don't get how it could be funny. I can't see what anyone would find funny about it.

Lashalicious · 09/12/2017 17:49

Ah...the epitome of class, that one.
