Oh deary me, lost a sense of humour have they ?

[jackobyte]

personally i thought it hilarious and it certainly would stick in your mind from a marketing point of view !!.
Offended by... not in a million years, i think in these times of hard ship all round,if you can have a giggle then it brightens the day.
And to be fair most kids know the swear words anyway these days.
And 3 people out of 61,113,205 (uk) people,found it offensive, my view is, get a life, have a laugh and enrich everyone else's

I wuz here first

As someone suggested elsewhere, why is FCUK allowed?

If we all complain about that, can we get all their tat banned as its obviously offensive, even more so than Sofa King?

[MadduckUK]

Brings up a point though - Max W*ank the German politician, and Rusty Kuntz the ex baseball player who have had references to them deleted from here before now.. and thats fine and dandy, sort of, because they are no-marks used purely fore their hilarious names.

But what if a UK politician or a Premier League footballer of some note comes along with a name like that? what then?

I sometimes laugh at the stupid stuff the advertising standards agency get up to.

these are two TV comercials broadcast here for new york pizza:

THESE VIDEO'S ARE NOT SAFE FOR WORK DUE TO LANGUAGE

ASA could learn to lighten up a bit

[Zak33]

listen....

if Jamie Oliver can get away with this

on National TV every week, then Sofa King is good as gold.

Not premier league but....

Like Rod Fanni, Hans Feltercrack or Burakcan Kunt

There are plenty of other funny footballer names as well.........A few of them I have even managed to get in my FIFA team

Stupidity really. I remember watching a program about people with inappropriate names and a boy at school had got into trouble when a teacher asked for his name. The lads name was Waine Karr.

Like many of these things though, it is the context in which the language is used. The same words can be used in conversation but a different tone of voice or body language or context conveys a different meaning.

For example, if I'm out with mates and someone makes a joke, someone else might laugh and say something like "you twit". Someone unknown brushes opast, spillsw his drink - say the same words aggressively and he'll get thumped. All down to context.

I doi feel sorry for anyone unfortunate enough to be called Michael Hunt though

[tiggerai]

I don't get it....





.... ohhhhhhhhh!

We actually had a headmaster in school called Harry Dick

There was also a professional hockey player by the same name.
