My dds (4 and 6) accidentally upset the little boy (age 3) that their CM also looks after the other day by saying 'Girls are better than boys'. It's just something the girls and boys say to each other at school, and they had no idea that this little boy would be so upset by it. They were mortified. Don't think encouraging one group (whatever it may be) to think of another group as being generically 'stupid' is a good idea, tbh. I'm with Twig here (and I only have girls). Substitute 'boys' in the slogan for 'black people' or 'gay people'... Is it acceptable then?

Sorry for sense of humour failure. I'll let you get back to talking t-shirts. Smile + [pacifying sort of emoticon]

Not my cup of tea either, I know it is meant to be light hearted but I do think it sends out the wrong message.

I pass a shop that sells the occasionally and never fail to see in the window at least one slogan I find in dubious taste.

Some of their things are quite cool, ('I found Jesus... he was behind the sofa' still makes me snigger) but I couldn't ever bring myself to ever give them my money.
Actually, slogan shirts in general are a minefield - I avoid them whenever possible.

Except \link{http://www.cafepress.com/kentexiles.19025500\this} one, of course.

i love all the truffle shuffle stuff made by junk food! I have just ordered this...

sorry really cannot do links. I don't really like the d&g stuff but at the end of the day it isn't worn by children and there isn't any bad language so there isn't that much harm in it.

"Gay people are perverted - keep them away from your children"

Is that light - hearted and funny? No. Why is it any more funny to verbally abuse someone because they are male?

I do not want my boys growing up to think they are stupid. I don't accept the 'lighthearted' argument. It's a sexist and damaging attitude to teach young women.

People who wear t-shirts like this think they're making a hilarious statement but the only statement they're making is about their IQ.

Sorry if that offends but those t-shirts offend me.
