Woman Kicked of Southwest flight for political T shirt

That 'clear variation' of the F word, was shown day-and-night on TV and print ads for the mainstream movie referenced. Viewable by impressionable children, etc. etc. Everyone went 'wink wink.' So this notion that the woman wearing the T-shirt was hassled for an 'obscenity,' as opposed to a political opinion, is nonsense.

Try reading the posts.

The article said that the shirt had "...a phrase similar to the popular film, Meet the Fockers." That means that she was not wearing a "Meet the Fockers" t-shirt.

We who read the post are all assuming from the article that the "o" was replaced with a "u" on the shirt, and that was what people objected to.

Oops. Your right, I was wrong.

Too bad. I think not using the 'u' would have made the shirt just as effective a political statement, without breaking any rules. As it stands, she did wear a shirt with a recognized obscenity, and hence she doesn't have much of a case against Southwest.
