Sometimes the problem is that the Thais do not understand the "slogans"! I am sure that the teenage girl ( and parents ) who regularly attends Mass here in the football shirt branded for PornHub would be mortified if she/they knew!

 

I have a Brunswick Green polo shirt with the old (lion on a wheel) British Railways motif on it - but it is not so much advertising as that I really like steam locomotives!

Then you probably would have enjoyed the ones in India up until fairly recently.

Doesn't take much to trigger you does it. Best to not give a F#$k and your day will be much better. I really don't notice what other people wear thank God.

You really should refer to my most recent Topic concerning Steven Pinker and the use of language.

I am sure you will find it most entertaining.

My wife is Thai, but reads, writes, and speaks English.    She told me about a time that she met her niece in the Chatuchak market.  I forget what the wife told me was on the niece's shirt, but it was a obscene saying relating to sex.   

Wife asked, do you know what that saying means?   Niece says no.  Wife translates saying into Thai.  Niece is mortified and promptly removes the shirt and clad only in a brassier and long pants, goes to the nearest clothing seller, and buys a new shirt, then throws the one with the obscene saying away.  

Apparently niece was less embarrassed walking around with just brassier on top than she was about the obscene English saying written on her shirt, once she understood what it mean!
