<p>I have a t-shirt with a word on it… and the word is “F.C.U.K”… (without the “.”) It isn’t related to the f word… because it’s the brand of the t-shirt, French Connection United Kingdom… So, I’m just wondering how offensive it could be if I wear the t-shirt going around the campus… (since people might get the wrong idea because of it) and the size of the word is pretty big so people can read it from 4-5 meters away…</p>
<p>If you’re wondering, then you have answered your own question. It’s offensive.</p>
<p>if you feel uncomfortable wearing it, dont wear it in public…otherwise, i see no problem…</p>
<p>that’s not offensive, anyone who has ever heard of the brand knows it’s not being used in an offensive manner.</p>
<p>if you don’t mean it in an offensive manner, then anyone who takes offense at it should question their reasonings behind taking offense.</p>
<p>Even if it did mean the f-word, big deal.</p>
<p>Yes. It is offensive.</p>
<p>It’s clearly designed to echo the F-word, and that’s why they named the t-shirt brand so that it’s initials would look that way. </p>
<p>For future reference, if you have to ask yourself a question like this, the answer is almost always YES.</p>
<p>People who are offended by words with no meaning attached don’t deserve your caring consideration, imho.</p>
<p>most people know the brand</p>
<p>A lot of people wear that brand on campus. I think it’s popular in the NYC. You’ll be okay!</p>
<p>It’s just a brand. If people can’t tolerate that, it’s because they don’t know the brand or they are just thinking the other way…</p>
<p>This is Cornell. You’ll be absolutely fine. You’d get more crap if you wore a shirt criticizing evolution or affirmative action.</p>
<p>I’d only be offended because those T-shirts are kind of played out, but I don’t think any reasonable person would care that your shirt implied *<strong><em>. If you’re still concerned, save your *</em></strong> shirts for weekends, when people are engaging in lots of ****ing, and your message would be better-received.</p>
<p>the worst that should happen is that you’re asked not to wear the shirt to class or on campus…</p>
<p>cornell is more likely to do this with anti-gay or anti-black and anti-semite displays…</p>
<p>That’s interesting… Some people said it’s offensive, but most people said it’s not.</p>
<p>Has anyone seen someone actually wore the same kind of t-shirt?</p>
<p>I know that I had one that said “**** it” freshman year, but I never wore it. I’m sure someone at Cornell does, though, French Connection is a fairly well-known brand.</p>
<p>weird that it bleeps out f.c.u.k.</p>
<p>yea, you’re fine. A lot of people wear that brand. I’m pretty sure I know a friend of mine who wore a **** logo shirt. It wasn’t that big but I’m sure it’s not going to harm anyone. Just don’t wear like a “I hate gay people” or any other ignorant shirt and you’ll be fine.</p>
<p>it is very offensive
dont even think about wearing it again</p>
<p>**** censorship… wear whatever the hell you want</p>
<p>I’ve always admired that marketing scheme.</p>
<p>lmao at Spanks’ post</p>
