That catchphrase wouldn't have lasted a day in the U.S.

Sofa King mustn't have good legal counsel.

fcuk gets away with it and plays it to their advantage by producing an extremely popular range of t-shirts with messages such as "fcuk fashion", "fcuk this", "hot as fcuk", "mile high fcuk", "too busy to fcuk", "fcuk football", "lucky fcuk", "Fun Comes Usually Kneeling", "fcuk on the beach", "Cool as fcuk", etc.

There were also a number of regionally specific messages, such as "fondle constantly until knackered" (in the UK), "fcuk in hull" ,"no fcukin worries" (in Australia) and "fcuk off". "Chugging the fcuk" and "Munching on fcuk" were popular shirt titles but were later found as inappropriate.

The phrase lasted for 9year? That's enough publicity already and now they should be legendary. Anyway why is copywriting being told to be taken down? What about all those ads of scantily clad models male and female on the side of bus stops not warned or forced to be taken down? School children stand at those bus stops everyday.

We live in a strange society

why on earth would people complain about the tagline? seriously... are people THAT F'n miserable and bored with their lives?

do they have nothing better to do then to harass the business for using a normal tagline?

i mean you REALLY gotta think about it and repeat it a few times to 'get it'.

i swear... i need to knock all these fools with a Louisville slugger to the side of the head.

IDIOTS!

Thanks

That's easy to answer - the people complaining are British - you know - home of "PC" - "Political correctness".

You realise you're arguing against yourself here too...

It's a forum, that's how these things work, even new people can reply too - usually with posts such as "thanks for the informations sir", as far as i can tell. And people who think they deserve more respect because they've been signed up to a forum longer than someone else are funny.
