Should souvenirs featuring one of the most profane words in the English language be sold at a family-oriented market?Robin Knox will move a motion tomorrow night to get legal advice on the moveIt is a debate polarising Territorians following a Darwin Council alderman's promise to put forward a motion tomorrow night that could see the Top End's unofficial tourism slogan banned from items sold at the Nightcliff Markets.
While some told the ABC it was taking the region"down the sewer", others claimed it was among the"most creative and intelligent" things they had ever seen.Speaking to ABC Radio Darwin this morning, Mick from Malak said it was totally inappropriate to feature the slogan where children could see it, and recounted when he had seen a man wearing a"CU in the NT" shirt as he looked after his children.
"But walking to the shops with his own kids, maybe they wouldn't question it, but I think it's pretty poor taste.Geoff from Berry Springs agreed, saying he found it quite offensive even though"I've spent my life in mining and road transport and knocked around some pretty rough areas"."I thought we were trying to promote an image of being a little bit more sophisticated than some people might think we are.
