I would argue that that shirt is not a lewd message at all.
But I would also point out that those random gate agents can totally screw you if they want to, and there is nothing you can really do about it except either:
a) Call them on their bullshit and be a real asshole if they are timid.
b) Call the airline and complain later on when you don't get on the plane.

yeah, the airline people have a bit too much power. It wasn't a lewd message, though they would argue it was simply because of the word "fuck" of course, but you stand up at all to these fucks, and they toss you off the plane.
best, and I hate to say it, but, to just swallow the bullshit and complain later.

My uncle was prevented from boarding a plane and decided to do KAelik's solution a). It ended up with him being interrogated for 9 hours by air marshals. I wouldn't recommend it, because even if the gate person is timid, there's dozens of people eager to bust some heads within earshot everywhere in an airport.
In this moment, I am Ur-phoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my int score.
The problem is that they weigh pissing off a single person wearing a shirt with PG-13 language (you can say fuck once in a PG-13 movie), against the potential of offending a larger number of people (greater than one).Prak Anima wrote:It wasn't a lewd message, though they would argue it was simply because of the word "fuck" of course, but you stand up at all to these fucks, and they toss you off the plane.
And by tossing the single person off the plane, they still keep the money that person paid for the ticket, whereas trying to appease the "victim" will probably result in having to pay some sort of compensation.
Really, I'd probably let someone get away with a shirt like that until someone complained, then I'd ask if it could be turned inside out.
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.
and this is why I shouldn't be in the customer service end of the service industry... I'm the type of person who, at my nicest, would tell the person "I'm sorry this is a flight out of American air space, it is an American plane, and in America, that person has freedom of speech, which I'm not about to infringe because you're offended. I invite you to go talk to the person yourself, but I'm not doing a damned thing to infringe upon constitutional rights"

No, in the former, they are breaching the contract. In the latter you are breaching the contract. Or failing to accept the services provided for reasons that are not "failing to meet the agreed specifications for the service to be provided".Maj wrote:Really? I had no idea.

Note that the airlines will TRY to keep your money for being kicked off.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

For some reason, I now vaguely approve of Justin Bieber. Who I previously didn't care about one way or another.
