Don't you hate it when people post obnoxious text at the top of their blog and you have to scroll past it every time you want to read what they've posted? Man, I really hate that.

F.C.U.K.

Fcuk is, for those who don't know, a British fashion company (the name stands for French Connection United Kingdom) whose name, as you may have guessed, is deliberately intended to attract intention by making casual passers-by mistake it for a very rude word.

This has, over the years, created a lot of controversy. It also serves to alienate a lot of customers; I know several people who don't like buying their stuff because the name insults them. This surely can't help their profits; is it really a good idea to try and win customers by swearing at them?

Aaaaaanyway, the other day I was in Specsavers (an opticians) with my sister, who was getting some new glasses, and there was a shelf of glasses frames designed by fcuk marketed under the brilliant slogan, 'Fcuk vision'.
Now would you trust a pair of glasses with fcuk vision written on the side? It's like a shop selling hats having 'HEADS ARE RUBBISH' written on the window. I mean It'd surely make more sense to write 'fcuk vision' on a hearing-aid than on a pair of glasses?[/comedian]

:
A judge reportedly expelled a potential juror from his courtroom for wearing one of the fcuk range of T-shirts, saying that the "mis-spelt Anglo Saxon word" was a distraction and did not dignify the court proceedings.

Number of stupid faddish kids who like swear words for the hell of it > Number of sensible people.

I often use the word fuck, I wouldn't dream of having a misspelt version of the word on my T-shirt, purely for the hell of it. In fact I believe the only branded clothes I wear are an Iron Maiden Clansman T-shirt, because it is gorgeous and a Back to the Future shirt I got from my brother when he outgrew it.

No, it is not a good idea to swear at your customers. If I were the person who owns the company, I would rename it.

You're honestly worse than Alien Magi, Meech.

I actually do understand the topic. I'm sure you wouldn't want your company called like that. And there are lots of members worse than AlienMagi. One of them is named Kastere.

fcuk gag kind of old... If I see someone wearing a plain grey tee saying 'fcuk' I usually just think "Wanker."

Wingds, I'm very similar to you in that regard then. Only I have a kickass Motorhead shirt rather than Iron Maiden. Has sparkly beads on it and everything.

I want one of those shirts. Though my parents would probably shank me for wearing one. >>

I smell an oxymoron...

Oh, and

This is why we can't ban MeechShrykull; for that one-in-a-million post he makes that somehow seems worth all the rubbish.


And as my final note on the subject, the fact that fcuk does make some good styles only makes it worse, and is the reason why my sister now wears a pair of glasses condemning eyesight.
