To be offended by these stickers on the back of a van?

So I was on a day trip with a friend yesterday and this van was up ahead of us in the traffic.
I’m no prude, but I think these are really offensive (you may need to zoom in)
Is it even legal to drive around like this?

OP in Australia people get booked for stickers like that. I saw it on an episode of an Aussie traffic cop show. They hate stickers like that.

Send it to the local plod, I am pretty sure that if that van has a rear view mirror then you are not allowed to have stickers in the rear windscreen that obscures that view.

It’s an offence actually but the police probably have little interest in enforcement

Interesting how so many women on here claim to not watch porn but also know what fake taxi is

I only know what it is as some men from work pointed it out when we were on a team Xmas meal in London 8and one of them knew the son of the guy that started it.(apparently)

No idea why the poster (who claims to be the DP of the delightful specimen who owns this) has revived my thread of over a year ago?
Also that she looks forward to his baby boy inheriting it. Bloody weird. Wtf?

Misogyny is offensive.

Or at least it should be.

It's not a character failing to be offended by misogyny.

That wasn't entirely my point.

My point being that you have allowed this dickhead to offend you. What do you think his goal was putting all that shite up? To cause offense. To upset people.

If you just take him for the immature nob head he clearly is and he's not getting a reaction, he'll begin to doubt his 'shock' ability for winding women up. He might even realise we don't care about little men like him.

I can't remember what was on the stickers without going back, but I don't think there was much that a child would take in and understand? Was there?

It's all just hugely embarrassing, for him.

Although I bet if he got wind of this thread he'd think he was awesome, because he's achieved what he set out to do 🙄

I remember going to Cornwall some 40 years ago with my brother, Mum and stepdad... First time ever seeing the Fat Willy's logo. My parents were such awkward adults that it never got spoken about, not even a.. Ooh that sounds rude haha... And the logos and shops were bloody everywhere 😂

Oh kinell, didn't realise it was a resurrected thread.

Oh well, it's worn me out. I can't be arsed debating the fallout from some window stickers.

Right. Trifle anybody?

Oh I saw your picture of his van on Google, and it made me giggle.. I think it's funny how you let someone else perceptions (that you will more than likely never see again) upset you so much 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Glad you think it’s ‘funny’ 🙄
it’s disgusting, offensive and downright vile.
Why should young women and girls have to see this? There’s far too much normalising of porn in our society. Young men/boys are affected by this and Andrew Tate.
Anyway, you think your partner is ‘lovely’ - I would be embarrassed to be seen with someone driving around in this.
