It takes a special kind of stupid to think this refers to domestic violence.

In interesting, if slightly OTT observation - have you considered the point I made, that the bad design leads to a misunderstanding?

You've got a life … all you need now is a set of manners, you'll be good to go.

spank the monkey on a mug
be offensive to the animal rights brigade ?

Probably.

What about 'I have a compelling need to be right' on a mug?

That should sell, right?

Your motto - give it a go why don't you?

andy, I really don't know if it was meant to be edgy or if it's just clumsy; but by accident or, er, design, they've found a way to make "HIT HER" stand out by putting it in upper case and giving it a line of its own, prefaced by "brilliant idea".

But it's easily fixed, and should be.

I rarely try and second-guess the thinking of men in red braces who sit around modern offices 'brainstorming' ideas like this, but as I have said, the wrong message jumped out at me the instant I clapped eyes on it, so if they were going for an 'edgy' impact, they have seriously misjudged it in my view.

Yes, I saw and read what you posted, I just don't understand the point you are making.

And the connection with Roald Dahl quotes on mugs is … ?

Double meaning which is your point, is it not?

Spicerack - // Double meaning which is your point, is it not? //

I have no idea why you think that's a double meaning, but don't worry about it.

No, that's not my point.

I'm not making a point about double meanings, I am making a point about the way you display something can completely change the meaning from what was originally intended - that's not the same as a double meaning.
