Thread Name: Performance: (in)appropriate dress codes?
Subject: RE: Performance:(in)appropriate dress codes?
My response to the necrophiliac t-shirt is one of pity...is that the only thing the wearer can do to get a reaction? In your face vulgarity has become so commonplace that it has lost it's ability to shock. Let's face it, when fuck is used instead of umm, it becomes as meaningless as white noise. Whereas when an otherwise well-tempered and well-spoken person uses it, you KNOW they are upset. Then again, I have never understood why such a delightful activity as sex should be an expletive...might as well say "Ice Cream" in moments of stress.
