is this too rude for a t shirt

[dadpad]

Friend in the states runs a sawmill hardwood lumber supply the T shirt is a give away on their annual customer thanks and apreciation day. Is it suitable

[dadpad]

ok so now that you have been warned

[Stuart]

Oh wait - I meant 'no' as is no, it is not appropriate, not 'no' as in it is not too rude... buggered this one up

Too many wifes, girlfriends etc would not like this coming home. It is funny, but not to the wider community these days.

Would tick "only if I get a free one" but I don't want to be castrated (yet).

Ditch the cheezy-sleazy 60's pic (it's there because Americans just can't force themselves to do double entendre humor deadpan...they think someone might miss the joke), and just run with the punchline and your business name.

Ditching the pic will mean you can print it as one colour, so you will save a bunch on your print setup costs assuming you are getting them silkscreened. Punchline and business name only means you can print more and they are not restricted to this one giveaway opportunity only (you can use them at christmas too)

I'll have an XXL thanks.

I would encorage further comment on this even if you feel you are just echoing previous comments.

Id go one But without the stupid blonde... and the companies logo

Saw one at the mine simply said on the front "F..K OFF" and on the back "Yeah you sh......d"... cant for the life of me understand why anyone would want such a pathetic crass t shirt

But something like that has the element of humor... which I appreciate!

................look up and live.

in a previous life i had one that i had worn as Jarmies on "go to work in jamies day" explaining that mt breasts are deaf and wont talk to you , but if you talk to my face i will " as i said previous life and i dodnt own shirt any more ... some shirts i think shouldnt leave home others crack me up !!!! number 3 son has the ability of wearing nordy shirts and getting away with it
" the latest one i saw on him was "If no one will play with you go play with your self " He is one of those people that will just smile at you and u just shrug shoulders and he gets away wiff it !!!!!

his older 2 brothers dont wear those kinda shirts on e would loose his job as the people he works for overseas wouldnt understand and the other ones better half would spank him !!
its got to the stage i wonder wats going to appear next but i can cope ..... cheers all jules

America has a massive puritanical streak that is nowhere near as strong here in Australia ... and you're asking Australians to comment on a product for America :confused: I honestly can't see that our opinions have much relevance. Sorry.

Now, the t-shirt itself. If the company is willing to advertise itself with cheap cliches, go ahead. It's funny in its own way, but doesn't show any imagination and so isn't a good advertisment for the firm. Sorry, but you wanted my opinion on an advertising campaign.

No, it's not rude at all.

It's cheap, obvious, very unfunny, not clever, and indicates to me that the business concerned hasn't got an original thought, or isn't willing to pay for professional marketing assistance.

But it's not too rude.

Cheers,

Saw a bloke walking down the street one day with a large C word printed across the front of his shirt. I was impressed. (not)
