Offensive clothing

[lovealatte]

I'd agree with whoever said that it is more about the type of clothing rather than what it says. While I myself wouldn't wear anything with offensive text on it, a person is more likely to notice the kind of clothing rather than the exact words on the shirt. For example you'd notice a 40 yr old guy in a bikini top before a guy wearing a shirt with some type of inappropriate text.

I myself don't really care; it just makes for good conversation.

I have a shirt that says "Lick Me" that I have worn to Epcot several times, never been an issue.

When I worked at Grad Night, it was encouraged that if we saw a grad with inappropriate clothing we should get a manager. The manager then sent them to costuming where they were given hideous pants/shirts to wear.

They were very strict with the dress code that night. But during normal hours we weren't encouraged to be as vigilent.

I had a situation a few months ago when I was in the queue for Maelstrom with a grandnephew and grandniece when I saw a guest a few rows back with an obscene shirt. I got out my cell phone and called the Security urgent number and reported what I had seen. By the time the call ended I was ready to board the boat.

Shortly after we got to the Unload area (before the movie) a uniformed Security Officer showed up next to the podium. I talked to him to confirm what I had seen and the Guest had not yet arrived in unload. I let him handle the situation.

Like you, I keep the Disney Security phone number in my cell, just in case. And while I have seen a lot of crude t shirts, outfits that were clearly not within the Disney dress code, smoking (of all kinds), drinking, swearing, verbal abuse I have never thought call the Security Urgent number.

I would not have thought that an offensive t shirt would be classified as urgent. But, since security arrived that quickly based on your call, I am rethinking what Disney considers urgent!

I love learning something new!

As I've posted many times, it's the clothes that aren't being worn are the ones that we find most offensive. During the one mistake we made which was going to the World during the summer, we've never seen as many people trying to see how few clothes they can wear without being arrested. We'd never seen so many tattoos/tramp stamps in our entire lives. I don't know about Florida, but in our home town, you'll get arrested you wear clothes with such offensive language.

I've posted this story on here before but I'll share it again anyway...

A couple of years ago, my now ex-boyfriend and I were purchasing tickets at DHS and a security CM approached us and told him that he had to either change his shirt or turn it inside-out. It was a Chicago Cubs shirt that were made to kind of look like jerseys (logo on the front, name and number on the back). The player's name was F u k u d o m e. At first we thought she was joking. We explained that it was a baseball player and a plain-clothes security guard said, "Well, I've never heard of him. Maybe you should root for the Yankees since they have normal names." Anywho, we wound up heading back to the car so that he could change his shirt.

Holy moly, nice lack of cultural awareness! In addition, that's a problem with the security person's mind, not the Japanese name on the jersey. I would have had suuuuuch a problem with that; I probably would have complained about that CM.

Wow, sounds like your country is pretty strict. Singapore, perhaps? Here in the United States, t-shirts with offensive language are usually in poor taste. I'm not a fan of people who wear them. But we can't actually arrest people for doing so.

Urgent would be something which requires fairly immediate attention, but is not at the level of a 911 call.

In this situation the person was wearing a black T-shirt, the first line, in large white letters, was "BLINK" while the second line was "if you want to {have sexual relations} me".

If I had been in costume I would have stopped the person; I thought under the circumstances it was better to contact Security directly than to ask one of the International CMs at the Load area to handle it.

That's what's wrong with this country. We need more caning going on. Disney security should have just come out with canes and beat the cr%p out of people like this. We'd have so fewer problems in this country.

That is so good to know!

I have often wanted to do something and couldn't decide if it would be considered frivolous by security.

Thanks again!

In my part of La., offensive clothing is the uniform. You definitely would NOT be arrested for a t shirt.

My adult son had to turn his shirt inside out to get into Epcot because it had a gun picture on it.

And yet, they sell toy guns in the park. Interesting.

FCUK will mean nothing to a kid who doesn't make the connection.

And if they make the connection, you've already lost the battle.

While I consider it childish and wouldn't wear the thing, I wouldn't get all worked up over it, either.
