As a woman, I find that ^ offensive (not!)

I thought the sticker mildly amusing (as in it raised a slight smile).

[Jinx]

I find the fact that a few people reported it to the police and they wasted time looking into it offensive.
When did protecting against causing offence become more important than protecting life and property?

Causing offence should be a human right!

awaits a tide of abuse - hopefully with some originality as I'm running out of good insults

There's something ironic about you calling someone a "Mong brained mysognistic halfwits" then spelling it "mong braind mysongistic retards".

Mysogynistic, surely? Hoist by one's own petard?

[Petrol Only]

Live and let live surely?

Is it funny? To me yes. Is It a bit provocative ? Yes

I bet if you showed clarkson the photo of him on that truck he would laugh. Fair to say he gets away with saying far more provocative things than this. A few outraged nutters complain. People tut sympathetically and the world just carrys on.

us Brits love to get offended

So Stephen Fry trots out a soundbite and that automatically becomes the only way to see something?

It was just a valid relevant 'funny' opinion. Nothing about it says you have to see it that way.

Crikey, it's not wonder this was a Police matter... where IS people's sense of humour?

Would that still apply if your wife and kids were in a car stuck behind a van that had fk OFF S written across the back of it?

I'm sure there are a few braindeads that would find it 'funny' or 'a bit provocative' if that helps your decision...

How have you managed to get to a car having "fk Off" written across the back from a picture.

You may as well just make any bks up now and start shouting about it, but it will of course be pointless as this thread has nothing to do with a car with "fk Off" written across the rear.

Is there anything else you Chose to be offended at and would like to get off your chest?

Ok, I'll try and explain it in really simple terms. Actually, no forget it, I don't think you're going to be able to comprehend it no matter how carefully it's explained to you!

No, you just go ahead making stuff up that helps justify your indignation.

I wouldn't say anyone who laughed at that image of a female bound, gagged and hooded, was a psycho.
It wouldn't make me ring the police. It doesn't even 'offend' me.

Nah.
It's just sad.

Yeah, bloody sad.
Worth no more than a shake of the head, and wonder where the world is heading.

And just a question to those humour (t)wits, say you were travelling close behind that truck in heavy traffic and you have yours and other 'young' kids in the car with you, I take it you would you still laugh out loud?

Jeez. Another shake of the head.

I've said several times, on several threads, that I do not proof read my posts, I do not do a grammar check and I do not do a spell check. I also touch type without looking at the keys.

I do this (or rather I don't proof read), because Pistonheads is not an internationally refereed scientific journal or a reporting platform for multi-million pound clients, it is a motoring forum with various off-topic forums which mong brained retards of all descriptions post to.

Some people are such nobs aren't they.

FFS they should count themselves lucky they don't have anything worse to worry about.

Although I'm not offended, I don't find it funny in the slightest and I'm not a 'women'.

I think that people who don't find it funny are probably gay and those who find it offensive are probably women?

You certainly didn't think very hard then.
