There is no such thing as bad publicity

No, Hannah, it's not photoshopped, it's real. Stickers have been printed in the same font and stuck on some of the bikes. I doubt it's a single person either, because I've already removed two transparent stickers and two on a blue background.

I saw stickers this morning when picking up my bikes, and pulled them off. I don't mind a protest, but let's keep it family friendly, eh?

completely agree, theres a time and a place for everything, and something that is so visible is def not it - I wouldn't have minded so much if it was a different word, but I object to my children and other children being exposed to this

I just think there should have been some sort of warning/censored version of the image in the main blog post (with a link to an uncensored version for those who wish/feel the need to see it).

There are still people in the world who find language like that offensive..shame on you MSE.

Usually on behalf of other people.

that's clever it's downright disrespectful and yet subtle

may be the leftie thugs at g20 meet, the ratcliffe on soar [STRIKE]street fighters[/STRIKE] protestors, the UAF stormtroopers and the insensate extremists could learn a lesson of two about being creative in their expressions from these activists

In these grim times we need things that make us laugh.

"I object to children being exposed to this" - better keep them out of school then - that's where I first heard the word.

"keep it family friendly"? You can't have a family unless you **** first - at least you couldn't in the good old days before 'naughty' words became naughty.

Uptight adults need to grow up - I don't have children but I remember being a child. I would bet that most children that saw it had a good laugh. Any that were confused by it could look it up in a dictionary - Maybe we should put '18' certificates on dictionaries?

I was surprised (even a little shocked) by the uncensored photo, but I applaud it.

My apologies...allow me to rephrase: I found it offensive, and perhaps others did too.

Considering the fact that the top of every forum page has a request for members to "exercise caution & report any spam, illegal, offensive, racist, libellous post", I would just expect the same due care to be taken by Martin on his blog (there's no 'Abuse' button there though).

God some people have no sense of humour!

You really find that offensive?? Seriously?? After all its only a word in the English Dictionary. I can imagine the TV you watch in your house must be very dull.
