I'm pretty sure this is stealth advertising, but no, profanity on articles of clothing isn't very appropriate.

Nah, most spam accounts don't watch 45 episodes of Unskippable.

Even without the profanity, I wouldn't think it would be the kind of shirt you would wear out in public or anything. I'd go ahead and get it if you're just gonna wear it at home or when hanging around with your friends. But yeah, don't be surprised if people look at you funny if you wear it someplace public.

I have a Carpathian Forest band shirt that says "FUCK YOU ALL!!!!" on the back and I've never had a single problem anywhere..

However, I suppose it depends on where you live? but I would think providing you don't have the misfortune of passing by some extremely sensitive person, no one will care..

What, "pissed"?
I would get it.
I would also get laughs, both from friends and teachers at my school...
If you're in elementary school, it's a no-go, but anything above that shouldn't give you trouble, depending on where you live/what school you go to/what your parents are like/etc.
So it's up to you.

Not something I would wear, but that's just me. I don't like clothes either of that style or that have crazy messages on them. I'm one of those boring people who likes plain stuff. :eek:

So "pissed" counts as an unappropipiate profanity?

Are you by any chance from the fifties?

If "Pissed" became a curse word while i wasn't paying attention then maybe, but as far as i know it's not so get it. Should someone give you a nasty word because of that word then something is wrong.

it's fine. if you want to see how many people get the reference, than go for it. no ones gonna get made because most people don't like to go up to someone and complain about their clothing. I personally love sharkrobot and have the zombieland rules, "the world ends with you" player pin, tunnel snakes jacket, and demyx jersey T-shirts. wear it around and show people what you like.

If I saw someone wearing that, I'd find it humorous, not offensive (the person that told you it's inappropriate... are they highly religious and/or conservative by any chance?).

This is nowhere near an offensive t-shirt. If you want a possibly offensive tshirt go to tshirthell.

All I see is "The trees are alive".

I didn't see any swear word on it, so it seems perfectly inoffensive to me.

Pissed is a curse word????? are you aware that it is the year 2010?

I have a shirt that says
front: Team Plague
back: Because vampires are fucking stupid

and I wear it around all the time, so go buy your shirt that is actually kinda funny and not vulgar in any way to a normal human being

I've seen way the hell worse than that. Go for it, and tell anyone who gets offended to grow a pair.
