For those of you who say you'd be pissed off if your kid read that shirt . . . what if somebody was just walking down the street wearing that shirt? Who would you complain to then?
I do understand the airline's dilemma and don't think they were out of line, but I don't think it was their responsibility to do this, either. Personally, if you take your kid out in public, they're going to be exposed to things you don't want them exposed to. Hey, chances are that they've already been exposed to naughty language on the elementary school playground. My thought on it is . . . if they don't already know what it means, they probably won't care. When you're 6, EVERYONE around you is wearing a tee shirt that you don't understand, and most 6-year-olds would rather go play than figure them all out. (I would like to reference the time that I watched "Dirty Dancing" when I was 9 -- ten years later I watched it again and said, "OMG, there's an ABORTION in that movie?" My 9-year-old self didn't have a clue -- it went right over my head.) And for those kids who do know what the f-bomb means -- well, you're really too late to protect them from it.
