"I'm just here for the Cougar Tail"

Has everyone seen this t-shirt? I'm honestly surprised it hasn't generated more controversy. The double meaning should be fairly obvious to just about everyone. How did this slogan make it through the BYU marketing department without getting vetoed? I find it pretty funny actually.

^^^^ This would be how it made it through the marketing dept

Because the people involved only see one meaning. Only guttermind people would see anything else.

Oh, half the people involved saw where this could go and were snickering quietly

RM could be seen as "rim". That's all the hint I can give with out getting in trouble.

Double meaning?

Exactly. The naivety of that group knows no bounds.

Q-grr

Huh. The naivety appears to belong to those who assume that isn't part of the joke.

Anybody remember the "I love Mormon Boys" shirts?

11/12/18 7:38pm

Don’t remember. And what would be the hidden meaning not obvious to everyone?

11/12/18 10:55pm

Depends on the gender (and age) of the person wearing it.

Except for KW of course

Because it didn't come through the BYU marketing department.

Don’t they have to approve licensed goods though?

buffgato

11/13/18 10:24am

No, that would be the licensing & trademarks. Separate from the marketing dept.
