Unsavory T-shirts in public

[TK-421]

Okay, the other day I was out to lunch with a friend of mine. We went to Red Robin, it is a pretty family/kid friendly place.
So I see this kid/boy/man, couldn't have been more then 21, walk up and was talking to the hostest. After while he turns to go sit down and I see his t-shirt, and it was horrible. It was the rabbit from the Trix cereal and with a comment about homo-sexuals.
It upset the hell out of me. I was offended, and felt like saying something. There were moms with thier kids eating lunch, and this jerk is wearing this t-shirt.
I was tempted to say something to the manager, as I did not think it was appropiate attire, and I was not quite sure if he worked there as he seemed to know allot of people.

It takes allot to offend me, but I really hated this guy's shirt...it was just wrong.

Should I have said something? Would you have?

if you wanted to complain you shouldve said something to your waitor or the manager... but not to the person direct because 9 times out of 10 it would cause a conflict...

if you feel wronged, you should always step up to say something

no I would never say something to someone directly about something such as this, you never know who you dealing with

if you feel wronged, you should always step up to say something

I think it was more of "what an idiot" feeling more than anything. I am all for freedom of speach and such, but I think you have to sort of know when and where. There is/was no good that could come from this shirt. I guess I wonder what he was thinking about when picking out something like that??

I woulda said something.
He was definately looking for a confrontation.
No problem-o!
If you gonna talk the talk, you better be able to take the beating.

[Argonus]

I would've said something...but it probably would've been along the lines of

"nice shirt, douchebag."

The guy appears the uncouth idiot for wearing a shirt as trashy as that...no worries on him being treated like one daily, I'm sure. :)

[rychehitman]

I have been telling Pablo this for years....

So then I guess I shouldn't wear my t-shirt of Bush and Cheney making out in front of the Washington Monument out in public? :confused:

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

So then I guess I shouldn't wear my t-shirt of Bush and Cheney making out in front of the Washington Monument out in public? :confused:

That's funny.
It really doesn't say anything.
But that Trix shirt (if it's the one I'm thinking about) is really offensive.
I woulda gave him the "you're an ass-hole look", and waited for a response.

[Jesse321]

I know the shirt he's talking about and it is offensive.

[cougartrace]

it would be offensive to me

and you are offensive to everybody.

Thanks, I did not want to go into details, but I was really bothered by it. I guess I also find it disheartening. I always like to think that we are moving forward as a society, and we I know we are, but then you see this and it takes you back a bit.

I don't know, maybe I am making a bigger deal about this than I should. Normally I am not all that serious.

Well, I see it this way ... there's no available proof that the Trix Rabbit is gay ... but there is TONS of undeniable proof that Bush is a raging moron.

So, in essence, I see it as giving the rabbit the benefit of the doubt ... while the other one has removed any trace of doubt himself. :)

[Collection King 13]

:laugh:

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

The Trix rabbit is gay?
I honestly thought that Tony the Tiger was.

[Jesse321]

The Trix rabbit is gay?
I honestly thought that Tony the Tiger was.

They've been accused of having a three way with Sonny the cocopuff bird by Perez Hilton ... but frankly, I think he's joining in on the fun. :)

why Tony????:confused:

He wears and ascot for Pete's sake!

Right on, Jess! :buttrock:

I always thought the leprechaun from Lucky Charms was gay. What's your opinion on that? Especially with his "Always after me lucky charms" line.

Jus' askin.

On another note, about as offensive I get in public is to wear my Doodie.com or College of Carnal Knowledge Tees. My wife (if no one else) is mortified.

OK, this thread has taken a U turn and needs to go away........soon.

[Jesse321]

I wear my "I POOTED" shirt all the time ... people still look at me strangely when I do. :laugh:

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

U turn?
How 'bout a circle jerk!

[cougartrace]

moral of the story is:

we just don't know what is offensive to some people.

Yeah, but I looked at my own gif and forgot what we were talking about :laugh:

So this means that I can wear my "Trix Rabbit wearing and ascot, while pooting on Bush and making out with Cheney in front of the Washington Monument t-shirt" to church this Sunday? :eek:


WOOHOO!!!! :buttrock:

lol...when you catch your breath from running...lol

[William Paquet]

Is that on a t-shirt? :confused:

Hell yeah. I had one back in the day. CIRCLE JERKS the hardcore band form LA.

If you're gonna wear offensive stuff you gotta be man enough to kick the sh!t out of anyone that gets in your face. Young people's brains are not fully developed(true fact), so they do dumb stuff. I would've never worn it in front of my mom, but in public it was a game. Stupid, immature.

Now that I'm an old creepy freak, I'm the one telling the kiddies they look like a douche, and I'm big enough and have been around enough that I don't care what they think.:)

[ANGRYCOMICMAN]

Is that on a t-shirt? :confused:

I have one that says:
"I reach around, for my friends!"
That's almost the same.

[Collection King 13]

lol...when you catch your breath from running...lol

You would run after making a comment... :laugh:

Hey.

[cougartrace]

watch it ACM, Boony told me that changing quotes was a bannable offense

[pablocruze]

there is a time and place for everything, some people are just too selfish to realize that

.. or too redneck.

more than likely, once he put the shirt on, he forgot all about it and would have been surprised that anyone even noticed.

Freedom of speech is an important right, but with rights come responsibilities, and just because one has the right to wear an unsavory tee-shirt or make an unsavory comment doesn't preclude the responsibility of good judgement...

in other words, just because you have the right to do it doesn't mean that you should...

I definitely think a word to the manager would have been justified.

Here we go again... Able to dish it but unable to take it... :banghead:

[cougartrace]

I'm not reporting it, because ACM is my buddy..

but Boony told me not to change quotes so I can't be the only one held to that rule

[Jesse321]

Maybe I should get a t-shirt of Boony wearing an ascot making out with Cheney in front of the Washington Monument! :eek:

ah, but only if the changed quote can be proved false beyond a reasonable doubt...:thumbs2:
