This becomes a matter of preference, then. Me, personally, I would only apply my personal standards to myself. I don't wear what I consider to be in bad taste, but then I don't expect other people to censor themselves on account of my delicate feelings. Sure, there is a line you shouldn't cross -- but where does one draw that line? Porn is neither illegal nor even very unusual; I would raise an eyebrow if the bag had actual porn printed on it, but just a vague, non-explicit mention? Since when did a non-expletive word gain so much power to freak and offend?

Are we really to say that the very implication that, gasp, people not only know of pornography but might actually enjoy it, should bother us? Are we afraid of porn? And let's remember, no one is in fact bringing porn into the public eye. A bag with a slogan is not exactly the same thing as a nudie mag. Porn consumption is still very much a private activity. All that a slogan stands for is just this: a bit of risque humor, and maybe, if you really want to stretch it, a reminder that, you know, this stuff exists. And people take the mickey out of it. To me, with shit that doesn't matter, I would just let it slide.

"I would only apply my personal standards to myself... I don't expect people to censor themselves on account of my delicate feelings."

THIS

"Are we afraid of porn?"

Yes, this society is afraid of porn, full stop. The whole ZOMG SOMEONE MIGHT NOT BE ASHAMED OF SEX thing, ya know. Anyone who enjoys it, or porn, is a fat hairy pervert who lives in his mother's basement with a shrine to George Clooney, didn't you know?

tl;dr I agree 1,000% with this comment. The whole, "I think it's disgusting so it shouldn't be allowed" thing has to fucking stop. :|

Not to mention the fact that just because a word/image/concept appears on someone's person doesn't necessarily mean they're obsessed with it. Sometimes, a funny bag is just a funny bag. Reading too much into something and then judging a complete stranger for it, I don't get that.
