Is sad fart going too far

Clowance

Yes I find it mildly offensive, can't really say why. I would prefer the cow idea or sad old git (seaside postcard style) farting, fully clothed preferably. Its a great acronym though, can almost remember it after one read!

Thoughts.

1. Tacky
2. Looks like an advert for them German "specialist" shower videos.
3. Could be a reminder to ladies to carry their TENA Lady when on holiday?
4. Is this an advert for a water company or a gas company?
5. I'm starting to see a guy with a cold and a badly smudged nose.
6. I got the acronym and its punctuation at the fifth attempt.
7. It's meant to be a fart!!! ....... Aren't farts clouds?
8. George Best is an anagram of Go Gets Beer.



Edit: Given that I assume the objective is to convey the image of a sad fart, it really is bad ..... Awful in content and awful graphically.

Edit: Did I say videos? ..... Geez I am showing my age!!!

What about a pic of Victor Meldrew sitting in a cloud of gas with his wife behind him holding her nose

Looks tacky but not offensive. If you do want to keep a "human" bum then maybe a side profile shot (so the bum sticks out to the side but you have the legs and upper torso in) would be better.

It's vulgar.
I don't like it. it reminds me of my brother (don't ask!)

Instead of a thong on a bum, why not show the rear end of a cow with a fart cloud? Cows are well known for producing lots of methane and the picture would be less likely to offend

I agree, go with the cow!

I had a thread in the arms the other day showing less than that(Lower back tatoos) and abcon removed it because its a family oriented forum.Double standards if you ask me.I don't find it offensive though.I also don't like the design.

Sorry, Martin, I can now probably be considered a sad fart - but I don't particularly like the association of 'sad fart' with someone who stands up for their rights as a consumer. Does sound a bit like a discouragement for people, doesn't it? To me, a sad fart has always been that - a sad fart!

I think "I give a fart!" or similar would be a much better expression - though I have to admit that this would be more difficult to associate with the words, and the intended intonation might not be obvious for the reader, either.

As to the graphics - I don't find them rude at all, but as others have already commented, they are a bit difficult to grasp without explanation.

I much prefer something like this!! Or didn't there use to be "bit of bully" model who pulled his trousers down and did a moonie.

Perhaps you could just show a picture of a sad fart!! Don't like to mention any names!!!But I know a few!!!
